This is a short CNN clip of an interview Reagan did for Irish TV. At the time this aired it was the summer of 1984 and the conflict he is referring to is the Iran/Iraq War which was getting really bad and how it could effect oil supplies to the West.

If anyone says the President - any President - isn't concerned about oil imports just refer them to this clip.

I believe the "let" he is referring to closing down is the Straits of Hormuz

Spam message on all these 1984 clips I post: This was in a bunch of beta tapes circa 1984 I found real cheap at a flea market ... if you're at one or a thift store take a look at the videos and you may find something.

You've put up some of the best, old & forgotten videos I believe I've ever seen.

2. This is one in NYC ... I got them last year ....

I haven't seen that vendor again ;(

Its 21 beta tapes in all ... I think what these person (who taped them) was trying to create an achieve and it seemed like they had two TVs - one to montior and the other to record if he/she saw something good to record.

This person also recorded a lot of WTF stuff too
