Document 258338
RONALD REAGAN. Typed Quotation signed:
"Ronald Reagan", ½p, 8½x11. In full: "If we are not to shoulder
the burdens of leadership in the free world, then who will?" Noted to be
from his "Speech, Conservative Political Action Conference, March 17, 1978". The
speech, entitled "America's Purpose in the World", was delivered at the 5th
Annual CPAC Conference. After discussing the Carter Administration's foreign
policy in Latin America (especially Panama) and Africa and the Soviet Union's
goals, Reagan talks about the United States' position in the world. In
part: "Leadership is a great burden. We grow weary of it at times. And the
Carter administration, despite its own cheerful propaganda about
accomplishments, reflects that weariness. But if we are not to shoulder the
burdens of leadership in the free world, then who will? The alternatives are
neither pleasant nor acceptable. Great nations which fail to meet their
responsibilities are consigned to the dust bin of history...." In 1980, Reagan
defeated President Carter, the first incumbent Democrat to lose a presidential
election since Grover Cleveland in 1888. Slightly creased. Fine condition.
