" Governor, you have been criticized for being all too quick to advocate military action". Marvin Stone stared at Ronald Reagan. " What are the differences between the two of you on the use of American military power?".
Ten feet away, President Jimmy Carter grips his lectern. His eyes were tired. Lack of sleep has made him short tempered.
" I believe that our first priority must be world peace".
President Carter is asked the same question.
" Under what circumstances would you use military force to deal with Persian Gulf oil?".
President Carter grinned. " Our interests will be protected in the Persian Gulf region".
Governor Reagan was asked about defense spending.
" Under the Carter administration". His voice hesitated. " There was a 38 percent reduction in America's military force".
At the end of the debate, Governor Reagan was asked for a final thought.
" Are you better off than you were four years ago?".
The American people replied.
Ronald Reagan became our 40th President on Jan 20 1981.
