Ronald Reagan

We did not promise the American people a miracle.

Our goal was and remains economic recovery-the return of non-inflationary and sustained prosperity.

We must, in the end, roll up our sleeves, face our responsibilities squarely, and persevere at the unending task of setting, and keeping, the Nation's affairs in order.

We are putting the false prosperity of overspending behind us.

There are still 21 million people going to get food stamps.

The safety net—for those who must depend on the rest of us, like that injured farmer—is still there.

Hockey has a long tradition of which we can all be proud.

I propose that over the coming years we clean up this mess.

I promise you one more thing—that as we build up our national defense, our national security, we will not stop or let up one minute with getting those other fellows across the table from us and now talking legitimate arms reductions.

The well-being—even the lives—of our children depend on parental care and alertness.

Medicines and other household products must be stored out of reach and, preferably, out of sight.

I hereby report twenty-two rescission proposals of fiscal year 1982 funds totaling $10,655 million.

I am indebted to you personally for your dedication and the many contributions you have made to 'our crusade' through the years.

An essential part of this administration's program for economic recovery is revising or eliminating Federal regulations that place needless burdens on people, businesses, and State and local governments.

President Mubarak has assured us that Egypt remains committed to a peaceful solution of this conflict.

We expect Him to protect us in a crisis, but turn away from Him too often in our day-to-day living.

I call on President Brezhnev to join us in this important first step to reduce the nuclear shadow that hangs over the peoples of the world.

We have fought the good fight. We have finished the race. We have kept the faith.

Foremost among these ties is our belief in, and commitment to, a peaceful solution to the Arab-Israeli dispute.

I'm confident that we will be working closely together to achieve those many goals that are in the mutual interest of our two countries.

I do hereby proclaim the month of February, 1982, as American Heart Month.

The United States stands firmly with Egypt and other Mideastern nations concerned with regional security.

It's an honor and a pleasure to welcome you, Mr. President, Mrs. Mubarak, and those who accompanied you from Egypt.

We are willing to continue in that role to seek a lasting peace in the Middle East between Israel and all its Arab neighbors.

Your service to the Nation in this capacity, especially your support of the Administration's economic program, has been greatly appreciated.
