President Reagan Desires "Continued Growth" for the TFP

 

In this 1984 State of the Union Address, President Reagan stated, "After all our struggles to restore America, to revive confi­dence in our country and hope for our future; after all our hard-won victories earned through the patience and courage of every citizen — we cannot, must not and will not turn back. We will finish the job."

Feeling a great conso­nance with this statement, the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property (TFP) sent a letter to the President supporting his resolution "to finish the job." The letter noted that since its founding, the American TFP has strived by word and deed to uphold the val­ues that have made America strong.

The letter also enclosed a summary of the American TFP's principal activities, noting that "An analysis of these actions will bring out the analogy between our activities and many of the essential points of your action."

We have reproduced in its entirety President Reagan's response.

Dear Mr. Spann:

 

Thank you for your letter of support and for providing me with an up-to-date account of the activities of the American Society for the Defense of Tradition, Family and Property.

 

I am very pleased by the support your society has given to me on many occasions and I would therefore like to express to all your members my best wishes for TFP's continued growth and prosperity. The present time affords the United States many possibilities to do good but also imposes weighty responsibilities. With your help and the help of all patriotic Americans, I know our nation can surmount all the challenges which lie ahead.

 

With warm regards,

 

Sincerely,

 

Ronald Reagan
