...altogether surprising that our generation is disillusioned with government and pessimistic about prospects of a brighter future. Those leaders in whom we have put our trust have consistently failed to solve—or in some cases, even neglected to try to solve—the problems that we are facing; and scandal after scandal has tarnished the reputation of elected office. Turning our backs on government, however, and neglecting the issues yet again is not the correct response.

...Guatemala regime ever since General Efrain Rios Montt took power in a coup last spring. Reagan wants to end a four-year freeze on arms sales to that country imposed by then-President Carter because of serious human rights violations.

We wanted to show the Russians we had options, that they couldn't dictate prices to us. And so we did. The fact is, we trust sources of supply in the Middle East more than we do the Russians. After all, we haven't fought a war against anyone in that part of the world like we did against the Soviet Union in 1969 (and that one almost got out of hand). Things are much better...
