From: mschacht-AT-mail.utexas.edu Date: Mon, 1 Oct 2001 12:27:23 -0700 Subject: Reagan's speech The German newspaper "Jungle World" recently published the Reagan speech in question - they have it in German, and I don't have time to retranslate at the moment, but they reference it as Proclamation 5034 for Afghanistan Day, 21. March 1983. The URL for the Jungle World reprint is http://www.jungle-world.com/_2001/40/32a.htm (and the name "Jungle World," if anyone's wondering, has to do with the newspaper's origins in a split from the "Junge Welt" newspaper.)
