Ronald Reagan

I'm glad that I've learned to know You.

God's love shines through every word.

I believe this action undercuts the efforts of those brave men and women at a critical juncture in the Central American peace process.

I am deeply disappointed by the House of Representatives' vote against the administration's request for additional assistance to those fighting for freedom and democracy in Nicaragua.

Strange, is it not, but death I fear no longer.

I have long been unable to understand the atheist in this world of so much beauty.

God has truly blessed this country, but we never should fall into the trap that would detract from the universality of God's gift.

Whatever the case, the Communist regime in Managua should not interpret the House's action as a signal permitting a reversal in steps taken toward fulfillment of the commitments made under the Guatemala accords.

I do hereby proclaim February 4, 1988, as National Women in Sports Day.

I wish to assure those struggling inside Nicaragua for those values we hold so dear of my personal support.

I do hereby proclaim the week beginning May 15, 1988, as National Tourism Week.

My commitment to peace and democracy in Central America is undiminished.

It is spreading fast.

Prevention of disease and pursuit of good health is a relatively untapped field of study.

I am extremely pleased that today the Senate has voted, 97 to 0, to confirm my nomination of Judge Anthony M. Kennedy as Associate Justice of the Supreme Court.

Judge Kennedy believes, as I do, that the role of the judge in our democratic society is faithfully to interpret the law, not to make it.

Congratulations go to Joe Gibbs and his excellent coaching staff.

I call upon the citizens of our great Nation to gather together on that day in homes and places of worship to pray, each after his or her own manner, for unity in the hearts of all mankind.

This is a victory accomplished solely on individual feats.

I'm just as enthusiastic as your fans!

Our goal in Nicaragua is simple-peace and democracy.

I believe that this arrangement will afford Congress and the Executive branch the opportunity to address jointly the central question of Sandinista compliance with the commitments made at the San Jose Summit.

Judge Kennedy has served with great distinction as a Federal appellate judge in this nation's largest circuit for 12 years.

He will make an outstanding addition to the Supreme Court.

You recently showed the world how to overcome adversity and did it with style and grace.
