Ronald Reagan
The Public Record
This legislation would be a budget-buster signaling a willingness to raise taxes and take the lid off spending.
Ratification of the treaties without such provisions would be contrary to the national security interests of the United States.
I have frequently stated and the enclosed study makes clear, the TTBT and PNET are not effectively verifiable in their present form.
The security of the United States and the entire free world, today and for the foreseeable future, depends on the maintenance of an effective and credible nuclear deterrent by the U.S.
I am hopeful we can reach an agreement with the Soviet Union which will allow me to certify that the treaties are effectively verifiable.
I do hereby proclaim the week beginning January 19, 1987, as Shays' Rebellion Week and Sunday, January 25, 1987, as Shays' Rebellion Day.
I continue to attach to the achievement of deep, equitable, and effectively verifiable reductions in the U.S. and Soviet nuclear arsenals.
We will seek every opportunity to make meaningful progress towards real arms reductions.
Real nuclear arms reductions are within our grasp if the Soviet Union will join us in the serious pursuit of agreements which are equitable and stabilizing for both sides.
