Ronald Reagan: “For its part the United States will meet its commitments fully.”

We must and will dedicate ourselves as a Nation to continue this effort, and to stand in solidarity with those who resist, until the blessings of democracy, freedom, and respect for human dignity are assured throughout the world.

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

I can't be late for my luncheon.

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.
