Ronald Reagan actually said...

"I am pleased today to sign into Law H.R. 3454, the Intelligence Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 1982."

"Let us never forget that good intelligence saves American lives and protects our freedom."

"I hope that the spirit of cooperation between the legislative and executive branches which resulted in this act will continue as we move to rebuild our nation's intelligence capabilities."

"This act represents a significant first step toward achieving revitalization of our nation's intelligence community."
