President Reagan told a group of high school seniors that they and their Soviet counterparts must “bring peoples of other cultures together in a common bond of humanity.” Reagan, addressing the winners of the Presidential Scholars Medallion, advised the students to “stand forthrightly for the values of our whole way of life and what it is based upon.” The President, recalling that he had spoken to students at Moscow State University during the recent U.S.-Soviet summit, said that he found few differences between the young people he addressed in Moscow and the 139 honored youngsters before him in the Rose Garden.
