On Tuesday 28 April 1981 President Ronald Reagan gave a speech to a joint session of Congress outlining his government's plans for economic recovery and US fiscal programmes.
"I believe it's essential that the Congress approve this package, which I believe will lift the crushing burden of inflation off of our citizens and restore the vitality to our economy and our industrial machine," he said. "The American people now want us to act and not in half measures. They demand and they've earned a full and comprehensive effort to clean up our economic mess."
