On June 12, 1987, United States President Ronald Reagan delivered the "Berlin Wall Speech to a crowd of Germans who
lived in West Berlin and to an international television audience at
Brandenburg Gate in front of the Berlin Wall
And now the Soviets themselves may, in a limited way, be
coming to understand the importance of freedom. We hear
much from Moscow about a new policy of reform and
openness. Some political prisoners have been released. Certain
foreign news broadcasts are no longer being jammed. Some
economic enterprises have been permitted to operate with
greater freedom from state control
Are these the beginnings of profound changes in the Soviet
state? Or are they token gestures, intended to raise false hopes
in the West, or to strengthen the Soviet system without
changing it? We welcome change and openness, for we believe
that freedom and security go together, that the advance of
human liberty can only strengthen the cause of world peace.
There is one sign the Soviets can make that would be
unmistakable, that would advance dramatically the cause of
freedom and peace
