Ronald Reagan

I think whoever was in this chair here would have to take appropriate action.

Yes, there are going to be times when, and are times when, there is disagreement.

That's the meaning of democracy.

Well, no, I don't know that that's a decision for us to make.

His leaving the islands was preceded by his denial of permission to the military, in that time of turbulence and street fighting and so forth, to take action.

We were both elected by the American people to make these choices, and I call upon Congress to discharge its responsibilities and redeem its pledge.

The Supreme Court's decision today brings the focus of compliance with the Gramm-Rudman-Hollings deficit reduction targets back to where it belongs: on the Congress.

I urge Congress to act promptly in order to make good on that pledge.

I believe the deficit targets of Gramm-Rudman-Hollings were and are a promise to the American people by their government.

Well, then he's just misinformed.

And we cannot use the military in that sense in a commercial undertaking.

Tonight, with heart and hand, through whatever trial and travail, we pledge ourselves to each other and to the cause of human freedom.

Oh, I think we'll talk about things like that, yes.

So while it's good to talk about serious things, it's just as important and just as American to have some fun.

I don't think that would be appropriate to impose on him.

I would be lost without either one of them.

Let us listen to the words again: 'We hold these truths to be self-evident, that all men are created equal.'

Perhaps, indeed, these vessels embody our conception of liberty itself: to have before one no impediments, only open spaces; to chart one's own course and take the adventure of life as it comes; to be free as the wind—as free as the tall…

And as the wind swells the sails, so too may our hearts swell with pride that all that Liberty's sons and daughters have accomplished in this the land of the free.

But the ceremony would have gone on if there was no coverage.

Indeed, some centuries ago one writer of proverbs described as 'wonderful the way of a ship in the midst of a sea.'

Our prayer tonight is that the call for their courage will never come.

We have a very happy relationship.

Rudy Vallee was an American institution.

Believe me, if there's one impression I carry with me... it is this: that the things that unite us—America's past of which we're so proud, our hopes and aspirations for the future... these things far outweigh what little divides us.
