Ronald Reagan Speech
Ronald Reagan speaking at the Shertaon Fort Worth.about weapons for Vietnam. Early 1970's. CU Reagan as he speaks. "What is of concern I think to a great many people, certianly is of concern to me, is the fact that this country had an agreement in the cease fire that brought our men home, that released our prisoners of war in the Vietnam war, uh, we've made agreements in which we've pledged to supply military material - weapons and ammunition - on a one for one replacement basis for whatever was expended in the fight against communist aggression. If the other side, if the communists broke the cease fire. And we have not been doing it. The president has asked for that, the Congress has cut it more than in half, and now threatens to cut it again and some Congressmen have stated that they don't care if those nations fall. Well, I think a great many Americans should care about whether this country stands before the world as having broken its pledged word in a signed agreement, because I don't know what ally would ever trust us again if we do that."
