Ronald Reagan: “I call on all Americans to join the battle against drug abuse to protect our children.”

But there's nothing I can say that would make the situation right.

Let us remember that the Soviet preponderance in military power in Europe remains, an asymmetry that offends our Jeffersonian senses.

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.

If we ever closed the door to new Americans, our leadership in the world would soon be lost.
