Ronald Reagan

Nuclear war cannot be won and must never be fought.

I do hereby proclaim November 30, 1985, as National Mark Twain Day.

I call upon the people of the United States to observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.

Peace remains my main concern, as it is that of King Hussein, Prime Minister Peres, and other responsible leaders throughout the Middle East.

Sincerely, RONALD REAGAN

I remain equally committed to providing Jordan the defensive arms it requires.

Our arms proposals are designed to strengthen Jordan's ability to pursue its demonstrated commitment to peace.

I commend the U.S.-Sweden Social Security Agreement and related documents.

I herewith report 8 new deferrals of budget authority for 1986 totaling $2,023,327,275.

The organizations mentioned in the bill may make recommendations, but only the Director, as the 'head of a department,' is authorized to appoint members to the Board.

We want to make strategic defense a strong protector of the peace.

Courage and steadiness are all important for freedom fighters, too.

I call upon the people of the United States to observe such day with appropriate ceremonies and other activities and to consider donating to relief organizations fighting hunger.

We've made a fresh start in U.S.-Soviet relations.

Human rights is a true peace issue.

Opportunities to address important problems of Soviet-American relations should not be squandered.

American policies are working.

The Treasury Department estimates that the use of gold in the reserves could, over the next ten years, increase revenues to the Federal Government by up to $5 billion.

Will we join together in sharply reducing offensive nuclear arms and moving to nonnuclear defensive strengths for systems to make this a safer world?

I came to Geneva to seek a fresh start in relations between the United States and the Soviet Union, and we have done this.

These 2 days of talks should inject a certain momentum into our work on the issues between us.

I'm convinced that we are heading in the right direction.

Human rights, therefore, is not an abstract moral issue; it is a peace issue.

I need your continued support to keep America strong.

H.R. 3700 is seriously objectionable particularly at a time when extreme budget restraint is needed.
