Ronald Reagan actually said...

"The Soviet leadership must understand that the way to reduce the nuclear threat is by negotiating in the same sincere spirit."

"There must be better mutual relations, they must result from moderation in Soviet conduct, not just our own good intentions."

"No one hopes more than I do that the future will bring improvement in our relations with the Soviets and an era of genuine stability."

"This legislation represents a milestone for progress and the ability of our democratic system to resolve a sophisticated and divisive issue."
