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 have the highest confidence that Ed Rowny and his team will work faithfully and tirelessly toward this goal.
A key to lasting economic recovery is to bring interest rates down and keep them down.

This new center will give the Institution's 25 million annual visitors an understanding of the great cultural achievements of the peoples and civilizations of Africa, the Near East, and Asia.
There are no impossible situations. There are only people who think they're impossible.
We're rejecting the helpless attitude that drug use is so rampant that we're defenseless to do anything about it.
The increase and diffusion of knowledge among all mankind is its mandate.
We can put drug abuse on the run through stronger law enforcement, through cooperation with other nations to stop the trafficking, and by calling on the tremendous volunteer resources of parents, teachers, civic and religious leaders, and…
We have come too far and worked too hard in correcting the mistakes of the past to turn back now.
The Congress has now sent an important signal to America's markets and to the world.
Clearly, there's much more in our free and pluralistic societies that unites us than divides us, and that's our major strength when we face a determined and totalitarian adversary.
