SUGAR LAND, Texas — House Majority Leader Tom DeLay (R-Texas) today made the following remarks following the death of Ronald Wilson Reagan, 40th president of the United States:

“Like all heroes, Ronald Reagan’s greatness was an extension of his goodness and billions of people around the world owe their freedom to both. He will be missed, but his words and deeds belong to the ages now, where they will be loved and honored as long as men yearn to be free.

“Ronald Reagan marshaled free men everywhere to their victory over communist oppression. He led America out of weakness and malaise to heights of strength and prosperity never before witnessed by any nation in history.”
