Key Facts
President and Mrs. Reagan travel to New York City.
President Reagan addresses the U.N. General Assembly speaking out against the Soviet Union and communism.
Leopoldo Fortunato Galtieri resigns as president, commander in chief of the army, and member of the ruling junta of Argentina, following their defeat by Great Britain.
This was a day in N.Y. This morning I addressed the U.N. General Assembly. Ambassador Gromyko did not applaud. I said some blunt things about the Soviet U. that needed saying. They were not well received by the large segment which usually votes against the U.S. & with the U.S.S.R. On the other hand, I think my talk added to the results of the trip to Europe & was a plus. Report that Gatieri resigned as C. & C. of Argentine Army. not confirmed as yet. Things may be shaping up a little in Lebanon.
