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.

These men died in battle for their country, and it's only right and fitting that they finally rest now in the Nation they loved so dearly.
All Americans, after all, have a common goal in this endeavor: Freedom for any prisoner who may still be held in Southeast Asia and justice for all of the families who've worked so long to resolve the fate of our POW's and MIA's in Vietnam.
We considered George a friend, a dutiful and unyielding servant of the people he represented in Congress for the past 14 years.
His full and unselfish life for the good of his fellow man will live on as an example to us all.
Because that story, according to the transcript which I've read, is a complete distortion of the truth.

It's not protectionism but economic growth that in the past 3 1/2 years has created more than 10 million American jobs.
The message to the world is clear: The United States stands for free trade, of course.
