Ronald Reagan

The only meaningful defense question facing both our nations is how to meet the challenge now before us.

I like Brian Mulroney a lot.

I am pleased to nominate John R. Norton III.

The United States and Italy are two of the world's great democracies.

Italy has played an active role in the cause of peace.

Our goal remains the reduction and eventual elimination of the means of aggression, nuclear and conventional.

I know I speak for all Americans in thanking you publicly, Mr. Prime Minister.

America welcomes you with her warmest friendship.

Cooperation between Italy and the United States is at a level unsurpassed in our history.

Now is the time for alliance solidarity.

I felt it was necessary to let them know we were looking at them realistically.

They will find out very quickly that it isn't because—no, what we're doing is not prevented by any treaty—research, there it is.

Our national economy was near the breaking point, and so were our local communities.

Failure to continue peaceful nuclear cooperation with the European Atomic Energy Community would be seriously prejudicial to the achievement of the United States nonproliferation objectives

I just can't believe that a system such as theirs can continue to hold its people and to hold other peoples in subjugation.

It seems incredible that the chief executives of 43 States and many of your own county executives have line-item veto authority, but the President of the United States does not.

We came to Washington in 1981 pledged to reduce the size, cost, and inefficiency of the government.

Without the Peacekeeper our chances of reaching an equitable agreement with the Soviet Union to reduce significantly the size of our nuclear arsenals are substantially lowered.

There's the potential of them not having to create it.

A vibrant economy is our single most powerful tool for revitalizing every county in America.

Only through your continued commitment, the enthusiastic support of your staff, and a redoubling of our efforts can we leave the American public with a permanent legacy of a more efficient and effective Federal government.

Failure to continue peaceful nuclear cooperation with EURATOM would be seriously prejudicial to the achievement of United States nonproliferation objectives.

In 1984, we promised renewed commitment to the full and lasting achievement of our management goals.

No federal program is more important than the economic security of the country.

Isn't it worth it to see if we can't come up with a nonnuclear weapon that won't destroy people?
