The American Presidency Project
Ronald Reagan
XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989
Remarks at the Swearing-in Ceremony for James C. Fletcher as Administrator of the National Aeronautics and Space Administration
May 12, 1986
The President. I very much wanted to be here today because this ceremony marks the dawn of a new beginning for NASA, the United States, and the free world. For over 25 years the men and women, secretaries and scientists, technicians, and astronauts of NASA have paved the way to the stars. They have charted new courses for us in a strange and forbidding and, yes, sometimes even an unforgiving environment. Some of them have even given the supreme sacrifice.
Over 25 years ago the people of this great nation made a commitment to go where no man has gone before and to do what no man has ever done before. We invited the finest minds in the Nation and world to join with us in a new but risky adventure: to explore the planets and the stars. We invited men and women from all walks of life to join a great team and a great nation to follow an uncertain path.
Everyone knew this was a great nation, and great nations pursue great efforts. This was no exception. There have been sacrifices in this program and lives lost, but there're also been great triumphs. In the 1600's another explorer with unlimited vision and an insatiable search for knowledge recognized the sacrifices of others. Sir Isaac Newton said, "If I have seen further, it is by standing upon the shoulders of giants." Well, the giants of the world's finest space program, we're proud to say, are Americans.
The men and women of NASA and the Department of Defense are setting high standards that are going to be tough to follow. Jim, you're coming on board at a time when NASA and the country need you. We need a steady hand on the tiller. These past few months have been a stormy period for NASA and the space program of the United States. Dr. Bill Graham, who's been serving as the Acting Administrator, has seen us through some high seas and gale force winds, and he has done a fine job. The space shuttle and our missile launch programs are the foundations of our nation's journey to the stars and beyond. It's time to rededicate ourselves to this destiny, and in our view, you, Jim, are the one to make that happen. So, congratulations, and God bless you.
Mr. Fletcher. Thank you, Mr. President, the Vice President, and all of the others here. As you know, I was reluctant to accept this assignment when you first called. After receiving the warm welcome from NASA last week, I've completely flipped over, and I'm anxious to get to work. I must say that we've got a little bit of business ahead of us, but it won't be long before we are flying again. And with the help of some of the people that you see in front of you—NASA hands and many others—we'll do that. And of course the Members of Congress, members of the committee-we expect some of their support, too, and I think with their help we'll be back on track again, Mr. President.
Note: The President spoke at 11:08 a.m. in the Roosevelt Room at the White House.

Ronald Reagan
XL President of the United States: 1981 - 1989
Message to the Congress on the Suspension of Litigation Against Iran
February 24, 1981
To the Congress of the United States:
Pursuant to Section 204(b) of the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA), 50 U.S.C. 1703(b), I have today exercised the authority granted by this Act to suspend certain litigation against Iran.
1. The circumstance necessitating the exercise of this authority is the implementation of the Claims Settlement Agreement between the United States and Iran. After a complete review of the agreements with Iran leading to the release of the hostages held by Iran I have decided to implement them.
This order is part of a series of actions necessary to resolve the national emergencies declared in Executive Order 12170 of November 14, 1979 and in Executive Order 12211 of April 17, 1980 and described in reports submitted to Congress under the IEEPA by President Carter on November 14, 1979; April 7, 1980; April 17, 1980; and January 19, 1981.
2. Although the hostages have been released, financial and diplomatic aspects of the crisis have not yet been resolved and continue to present an unusual and extraordinary threat to the national security, foreign policy and economy of the United States.
3. Thus claims which may be presented to the Iran-United States Claims Tribunal are suspended in accordance with the terms of the attached Executive Order pursuant to the terms of the Claims Settlement Agreement, and my powers under Article II of the Constitution, Section 1732 of Title 22, known as the Hostage Act, and Section 203 of IEEPA.
I am also ratifying earlier Executive Orders signed by President Carter on January 19, 1981 to remove any doubt as to their effect, an issue that has been raised in recent litigation challenging them. In this connection I note that Executive Orders 12276 through 12285 were all signed by President Carter and made effective while he was still in office. The Report to Congress required by IEEPA dated January 19, 1981 indicates that some of the Executive Orders were not signed until the release of the hostages, an event that did not occur until after the end of his term. The report, which was prepared in advance, did not, because of the press of circumstances, reflect events precisely as they occurred and to that extent it stands corrected.
4. The present Executive Order is necessary for the United States to meet its obligations under the Claims Settlement Agreement to peacefully arbitrate certain claims.
5. The action is taken with respect to Iran for the reasons outlined above.

Stinger: Maverick, you just did an incredibly brave thing. What you should have done was land your plane! You don't own that plane, the tax payers do! Son, your ego is writing checks your body can't cash. You've been busted, you lost your qualifications as section leader three times, put in hack twice by me, with a history of high speed passes over five air control towers, and one admiral's daughter!
Goose: Penny Benjamin?
[Maverick shrugs]
Stinger: And you asshole, you're lucky to be here!
Goose: Thank you, sir.
Stinger: And let's not bullshit Maverick. Your family name ain't the best in the Navy. You need to be doing it better, and cleaner than the other guy. Now what is it with you?
Maverick: Just want to serve my country, be the best pilot in the Navy, sir.
Stinger: Don't screw around with me Maverick. You're a hell of an instinctive pilot. Maybe too good. I'd like to bust your butt but I can't. I got another problem here. I gotta send somebody from this squadron to Miramar. I gotta do something here, I still can't believe it. I gotta give you your dream shot! I'm gonna send you up against the best. You two characters are going to Top Gun.
