Reagan on Foreign Policy

Freedom works, and freedom is on the march.

December 7, 1988

Freedom works, and freedom is on the march. And, yes, I am an optimist, and, yes, I believe I have every reason to be. I am an optimist because we're rapidly developing the means to neutralize the extraordinary threat of nuclear missiles through our Strategic Defense Initiative. I am an optimist because I believe we've proved with our policy of peace through strength that when we're strong, peace and freedom will prevail.

Remarks to the American Enterprise Institute for Public Policy Research
