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.
Any congressional restriction on deficit reduction which would increase the tax burden on every taxpayer is wrong.
The agreement reasonably restricts the EC subsidies on pasta exported to the United States, and therefore is an appropriate and feasible response to enforce the rights of the United States under the trade agreements.
The loan sales proceeds of approximately $3.41 billion constitute a significant step toward reducing the Federal Government's deficit.
I do not believe the United States Senate will succumb to allowing the special interests to choose Supreme Court members.
Let us insist that the Senate not give in to noisy, strident pressures.
I wish to make clear my understanding that sections 252(a) (1) and (2) of the amended act do not preclude me or future Presidents from exercising our authority to supervise the execution of the law.
I urge the people of the United States and educational, philanthropic, scientific, medical, and health care organizations and professionals to observe this month with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
America can avoid a fiscal disaster, but Congress will not do it by putting their hand in your pocket or with a get-soft defense program.
