President Reagan’s backup copy of Challenger speech
This is a page from President Reagan’s backup “reading copy” of the Challenger speech. The numbers and writing in the top left corner were put there by White House staff so that this document could be found again. The lines on the “reading copy” indicate when the president should pause. This is a technique President Reagan used from the 1960s, when he was Governor of California.
