President Reagan in his speech at the commencement exercises at the U. s. Military Academy at West Point, M. Y., vowed to continue to boost U.S. Defense readiness, both by building up military hardware and improving the pay of the armed forces. He declared that while he opposes increases in government spending, he did agree with George Washington's words, …” to be prepared for war is one of the most effective means of preserving peace.” After the ceremonies, President and Mrs. Reagan stopped to greet old Hollywood friends, Mr. And Mrs. James Cagney. Both Cagney and Reagan were featured in the 1938 Warner Bros. Movie, “Boy meets Girl.” May 27m 1981. |
