Ronald Reagan: “We can never legislate an end to terrorism.”

I don't say that we're not prepared.

I do hereby proclaim December 17, 1988, as Wright Brothers Day.

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.

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