Ronald Reagan: “A strong, credible American defense is indispensable to protecting the peace.”

Well, that wasn't a proposal. That was a decision that has been made.

America's freedom does not belong to just one nation.

I am delighted that later today I'll have the opportunity to welcome President Gorbachev to the United States and extend to him the hospitality and good wishes of the American people.

It was a message of peace.
