Ronald Reagan

Raising taxes is a cop-out; cutting waste in government is the right way to go.

These tax increases are neither wise nor compassionate.

Don't let anyone tell you it can't be done.

Lately, the pessimists have been sounding a new alarm: The dollar is so strong...

By virtue of the authority vested in me as President by the Constitution and laws of the United States of America, it is hereby ordered as follows:

The unemployment rate among adult women has dropped from 9.1 to 7.1 percent.

I am very pleased to sign S. 1388, the Veterans' Compensation and Program Improvements Amendments of 1984.

Democratic nations do not wage war on their neighbors.

I am gratified that the 3.5-percent increase in compensation benefits...will now become a reality.

Believe me, you cannot create a desert, hand a person a cup of water, and call that compassion.

It was you who said it is time to put earnings back in the hands of the people.

Passage of the amendment would reaffirm one of the most fundamental American values—faith.

The best news of all is that last year more than 4 million Americans found jobs.

Behind every successful woman there's a dedicated man.

Let us go forward confident that the American people share our values, and that together we will be victorious.

If the Congress can begin its day with prayer, children can, too.

A society where man is not beholden to government; government is beholden to man.

The difference between the path toward greater freedom or bigger government is the difference between success and failure.

An opportunity society awaits us.

I do hereby proclaim the week beginning March 4, 1984, as Women's History Week.

Our first responsibility is to keep America strong enough to remain free, secure, and at peace.

This designation shall not be deemed to abridge in any respect the privileges, exemptions or immunities which the Commission may have acquired or may acquire by international agreement or by Congressional action.

This legislation demonstrates the Nation's continuing commitment and support for these men and women, and their survivors.

We must bring down government spending to a level where it cannot interfere with the ability of the economy to grow.

I am pleased to announce my intention to appoint Dr. Kissinger.
