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.
It worsens the instability of the region and raises serious questions concerning the sincerity of Soviet statements that nations should undertake not to use force against each other.
It is past time that the Soviet Union respect the wishes of the world community and bring to an end the terrible ordeal which they have imposed on the Afghan people.
America is on the edge of a new era of peace, prosperity, and commerce.
You've got to remember that this has been a great change in the leadership and a change in the last 12 years in their position towards us.
We strongly condemn the current Soviet escalation of warfare in the Panjshir Valley of Afghanistan.
We would rather negotiate agreements with the Soviets than build new weapons, but we cannot negotiate with empty chairs.
I'm delighted that American businessmen are working side by side with their Chinese partners to develop new technologies for China's industries.
Both sides will encourage and promote the expansion of non-governmental cultural exchanges to facilitate the future development of friendly relations between the peoples of the two countries.
We must, and will, continue our unified rejection of such elements of hate in our political life.
My trip to China has been as important and as enlightening as any I've taken as President.
Your past achievements, illustrious history, and rich culture testify to the spirit and determination of the Chinese people.
Our relations with China have continued to develop through the last four administrations.
China and the United States, Mr. Premier, differ markedly in their values, forms of government, and economic systems.
I'm confident that our trip will be a significant success, resulting in a stronger U.S.-China relationship than before.
The stability and prosperity of this region are of crucial importance to the United States.
The economy is still expanding briskly with leading indicators showing the expansion is here to stay.
