We hope, therefore, that the amnesty will be an important first step toward a meaningful dialog between the Polish people and their government.
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.
We shouldn't forget that deficit spending represents a form of indirect taxation.
Believe me, for those of us who had to think twice before even stepping onto a campus back in the sixties, well, we've come a long way, baby.
This important step, however, does not solve all problems facing Poland today.
For in this Christmas season, you remind us all of the greatest gift we can give to each other is the gift of ourselves.
Christmas is a time of happiness and cheer, a time of peace and good will and glad tidings.
Good evening, and welcome to the lighting of the National Christmas Tree.
Let us raise our hearts and voices in common song for the reign of peace and the rule of goodwill.
On one special day of the year nature itself seems to join the angel choirs and little children and all mankind in a great and solemn celebration.
I hereby certify that the withholding of funds to multilateral development banks and other international organizations and programs is contrary to the national interest.
It's time to push the button used by every President since Calvin Coolidge in lighting our National Christmas Tree.
