<p class="MsoNormal"><b><span style="font-size:16.0pt;font-family:"Arial Black",sans-serif;color:#1F497D">In August of 1989 the Good Citizens of Volgograd/Stalingrad selected me to publicly honor and pay tribute to the Defenders and Victims of the Battle for
Stalingrad against the invading and annihilating German Army that included Nazi Waffen SS Stormtroopers. By comparison, in 1985 Reagan paid Tribute to Nazi Waffen SS Stormtroopers at their Bitburg Cemetery against the wishes of every Jewish Organization and
Veterans Organization in the country while announcing his so-called Reagan Doctrine whose author was Jeanne Kirkpatrick. Prior thereto I had condemned Reagan’s forthcoming Nazi Act in plenary debate with Kirkpatrick’s Lawyer and Co-author on the Reagan Doctrine
before the Annual Convention of the American Society of International Law at their request. At the time, Killer Koh worked for Reagan. Fab.<o:p></o:p></span></b></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><b><span style="font-size:16.0pt;color:black">...Here Kirkpatrick and Gerson quite correctly (though perhaps unwittingly) pointed out that on May 5, 1985 Reagan took the opportunity to publicly announce his so-called
doctrine at Bitburg, West Germany (p. 22). There Reagan laid a memorial wreath at a cemetery that he knew contained the remains of dead Nazi Waffen SS Stormtroopers despite the vigorous protestations of the justifiably outraged American Jewish community and
U.S. veterans organizations, among others. As I argued in a general debate with none other than Gerson himself, inter alia, before the annual convention of the American Society of International Law held shortly beforehand in New York City on April 26:</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-left:1.0in"><b><span style="font-size:16.0pt;color:black">“It is the Reagan administration's Machiavellian approach to foreign affairs that sponsored the Israeli invasion of Lebanon. It is the Reagan administration that brought
you the United States invasion of Grenada. It was the Reagan administration that brought you the U.S. invasion of Nicaragua, which still goes on today. It is the Reagan administration's policy of constructive engagement that has encouraged the South African
invasion of Angola. It is the Reagan administration which has launched an all-out vicious assault on the integrity of the International Court of Justice. And it is now the Reagan administration that is going to be paying tribute to 39 SS soldiers at a cemetery
in West Germany. I think nothing could be a more eloquent and symbolic statement of what motivates the foreign policy of this administration than that act.”</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;color:black"><o:p></o:p></span></p>
