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 didn't have to change my mind. I've been well aware of the harsh realities.
We must remember the important role that has been played since the beginning of our Nation by the diverse nonpublic schools.
I certainly do, and I think that the splendid record that has been accomplished by EPA in these last 2 years is being overlooked.
But now with this thing that has come up suggesting that there might be wrongdoing, we will never invoke executive privilege to cover up wrongdoing.
I invite the people of the United States to observe this day with appropriate ceremonies and deeds and to reaffirm their dedication to the ideals which unite us and inspire others.
Diversity in educational opportunity has been one of the great strengths of our Nation.
We must also bear in mind that private schools do more than offer alternative educational choices to students and their parents.
