Dear Ms. Willig:
I want to thank you for the message of support from Emunah
Women of America for our recent actions to counter and
deter international terrorism.
Our response puts on notice those who openly advocate and
carry out acts of violence against the United States. We
Americans are slow to anger and reluctant to use force. By
tradition and temperament, we seek to resolve even the most
intractable conflicts by the steady application of diplomacy
and reason. But where these fail, and a government targets
this nation or its citizens for terror, our love of peace must
never be mistaken for fear to act. We will do what is neces-
sary, unilaterally or in concert with others, to defend our
people and our way of life.
Again, thank you for this demonstration of love for America.
It means a great deal to me, and even more to the fine men
and women in our Armed Forces.
Sincerely,
RONALD REAGAN
Ms. Toby Willig
