Ronald Reagan
The Public Record
Ronald Wilson Reagan was an American politician and actor who served as the 40th president of the United States from 1981 to 1989. A member of the Republican Party, he previously held the office of governor of California from 1967 to 1975. Reagan's presidency is noted for significant tax cuts, a strong anti-communist foreign policy, and the deregulation of various industries. His administration also faced challenges such as the Iran-Contra affair and economic issues, including inflation and unemployment.
All who treasure freedom and human dignity should never accept nor take for granted this lethal barrier to freedom that stands today in the heart of Europe.
the Berlin Wall is a dramatic example of the desperate and cruel extremes to which totalitarian regimes will go to deny their subjects contact with other Europeans.

This weapon was particularly designed to offset the great superiority that the Soviet Union has on the western front against the NATO nations.

What can the world think of rulers who must build prison walls around their own nation?
I think we might sit down sometime and see what it was the people really wanted.
I have approved S. 1104, an act which amends the International Investment Survey Act of 1974.
I believe that a determination of the specific reporting period should be left to the technical experts.
I am asking the Congress to make a technical amendment to the act as amended by this bill.
