REAGAN'S CHALLENGE

And I have to believe that our greatest goal must be peace.

'Ronald Reagan, June 6, 1981

I've always recognized that ultimately there's got to be a settlement, a solution.

'Ronald Reagan, December 23, 1981

[A] Soviet leadership devoted to improving its people's lives, rather than expanding its armed conquests, will find a sympathetic partner in the West.

'Ronald Reagan, May 9, 1982

Readers may suspect that the dates of the quotations set forth above are mistaken. After all, doesn't everyone know that President Reagan spent his first term bashing the Soviet Union and showed an interest in serious negotiations only in his second term? Such is the myth that has developed of late.

The dates are correct. All of the remarks quoted were made during the first eighteen months of Reagan's first administration. And they were not exceptional. These thoughts were present or clearly implied in virtually everything Reagan and his first secretary of state, Alexander Haig, said about relations with the Soviet Union from the outset of their terms in office.

Of course, these were not the only thoughts they expressed. Other statements, particularly when taken out of context, gave rise to the distorted impression that came to prevail in American and foreign opinion. Let us look carefully at what President Reagan said and how he said it.

During his first press conference as president, on January 29, 1981, Reagan stated that he was in favor of negotiating to achieve 'an actual reduction in the numbers of nuclear weapons' on a basis that would be verifiable. He also declared that during any negotiation one had to take into account 'other things that are going on,' and for that reason he believed in 'linkage.'

A journalist asked what he thought of 'the long-range intentions of the Soviet Union' and whether 'the Kremlin is bent on
