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.
I hope we can take a little while today to breathe a little prayer of thanks for the great blessings that we enjoy in America.
Americans have always cherished mobility, and we greatly admire innovation.
Our Founding Fathers gave us a wonderful gift 208 years ago—a free country.
Ding saw the greed and the foibles that threatened to wreck our resources.
Today we join in honoring the 50th anniversary of one of the most successful and popular of all Federal wildlife conservation programs.
For five decades, you, the sportsmen and conservationists, have been buying Duck Stamps and have been giving our nation a gift of beautiful wetlands and flourishing wildlife.
One hundred and eighty-six of our National Wildlife Refuges have been funded wholly, or in part, through the Duck Stamp program.
I believe we can expect to see more and more Americans join in your tradition of giving.
The Duck Stamp quickly caught on with duck hunters, corporations, and conservation groups of all kinds.
I urge all Americans to observe these occasions with appropriate ceremonies and events, including participating in this program.
I don't believe that any administration in this country has ever done as much as this administration is doing with regard to discrimination against women in the marketplace.
I think maybe if we can persuade the Congress to even more cuts in the spending growth, they'll begin to see that we're serious about fighting inflation.
Our offer: jobs, opportunities, a chance to be self-sustaining, to provide for themselves and their families.
I believe that it is a legitimate effort to regain control of our borders.
I believe that the mortgage interest deduction is legitimate and is proper.
