Ronald Reagan actually said...

"The bond of affection between us is truly a treasure."

"Even more important, we've played a key role in the North Atlantic Treaty Organization, history's most successful alliance—a pact which has given us 40 years of European peace."

"I want to salute Prime Minister Mulroney for the tough measures that Canada is taking to combat the ugly threat of terrorism."

"We can lead our people into the light of prosperity, freedom, and good will."
