Reagan on Diplomacy, Foreign Policy, and National Security

“There is no reason why people in any part of the world should have to live in permanent fear of war or its spectre.”

November 18, 1981

“There is no reason why people in any part of the world should have to live in permanent fear of war or its spectre. I believe the time has come for all nations to act in a responsible spirit that doesn't threaten other states. I believe the time is right to move forward on arms control and the resolution of critical regional disputes at the conference table.”
