At the end of a 20-minute speech extolling his own record, Reagan said:

''I`d like to take a moment to say just a word about my future plans. In doing so, I`ll break a silence I`ve maintained for some time with regard to the presidential candidates.

''I intend to campaign as hard as I can. My candidate is a former member of Congress, ambassador to China, ambassador to the United Nations, director of the CIA and national chairman of the Republican Party. I`m going to work as hard as I can to make Vice President George Bush the next president of the United States.''

Reagan did add to his prepared text before leaving the fundraising dinner for 3,000 Republican contributors-''On to New Orleans, on to the White House''-as he stood with Bush, the two of them holding their hands aloft.

But Reagan had said nothing about Bush`s performance as vice president, his qualities for the presidency or his vision of the country`s future.
