Ronald Reagan

The Voice of America has been a strong voice for truth.

This Convention is significant because it represents an attempt to resolve a situation which has inflicted substantial hardships on a number of citizens of each country and has caused concern to both Governments.

Our relations are warm and close, and we share many of the same values.

I think it's time for these experts on fairness and compassion to answer a few questions.

One of the most important ideals that we share is our belief in the power of truth.

Millions of people who long to hear the truth will benefit from this agreement.

I recommend that the Senate give favorable consideration to this Convention at an early date.

Only the strong are free, and peace comes only through strength.

I transmit also, for the information of the Senate, the report of the Department of State with respect to the treaty.

America is moving forward again.

We come together today as people of two free nations, bound by common ideals and aspirations.

All Americans - Republicans, Democrats, Independents, from whatever race, religion, or creed - we're all on the same team in this, cheering you on.

You're absolutely right. We didn't have those things when we were your age. We invented them.

Today's good news marks the 16th rise in the last 17 months of those indicators.

I'm sure the people of our country will be equally as friendly and hospitable.

We literally in our lifetimes have gone from the horse and buggy to space travel and landing on the Moon.

We will not betray those entitled to social security or medicare benefits.

Mike, you and the other competitors here are a testimony to all young people that they should never be afraid to dream big dreams, and they should never hesitate to try to make those dreams a reality.

Whether you won or lost, you're now part of that elite group of citizens who represented our country in the Olympic games.

You don't have to make them see the light; just make them feel the heat.

You have your country's thanks and best wishes.

The time is now for the people of this country to make their voices heard.

And again, God bless you all.

Together all Americans are proud to say, Wir heissen Sic herzlich willkommen.

Your visit is a celebration of something real, tangible, and enduring: the friendship between the people of Austria and the people of the United States.
