Ronald Reagan: “I don't believe for one minute America's best days are behind her.”

The objective of the United States remains, as always, a comprehensive peace in the Middle East.

We have walked a long way together to clear a path for peace.

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.

I will not make age an issue of this campaign. I am not going to exploit for political purposes my opponent's youth and inexperience.
