[Rarebooks] FS: Signed Ronald Reagan speech

[Charles Agvent]

REAGAN,  Ronald.  SIGNED  TYPED  SPEECH to  the  Assembly  of  the
Republic  Chamber  in Lisbon, Portugal. Lisbon: 9 May 1985. Copy  of a
White  House  Press  Release consisting of  six  separate  legal-sized
(8-1/2"  x  14")  stapled sheets SIGNED by Reagan at the  top  of  the
first  page:  "This  is for you/Ronald Reagan." In  very  small  part:
"...In   a  little  more  than  a   decade,  your  nation  has   moved
rapidly...to  a decisive turn to democratic self-rule...the people  of
Portugal  have  chosen freedom.... Your adventure is important to  our
century...your  geographic location is strategically vital, your armed
forces    are    modernizing....  Yes,     democratic   Portugal   has
faced...problems...how  right Winston Churchill was to remind us  that
democracy  truly  is  the  worst form of  government  except  all  the
others....  The  essential  truth at the heart of  the  Portugese  and
American  democracy is our belief that governments exist for the  sake
of  the people...the dignity of man, the value of the  individual...."
Much,  much  more.  A rare and important form of  Reagan's  autograph.
