6 Washington, D. C. February 27, 1981 "Your Majesty: America applauds the vigorous and courageous determination which you displayed in meeting the serious challenge to Spain's democratic institutions during these past few days. The world is inspired not only by the Spanish experiment in achieving peaceful, democratic progress but also by the spirit with which you confronted the outrageous conduct of those who tried to bring change by force. We support and deeply appreciate the loyalty and commitment to constitutional processes which moved you and your citizens in responding to these grave events. You and your people are not alone as you reassert the principles of democracy which dis- tinguish today's Spanish example. You have America's support in your efforts. Sincerely, Ronald Reagan" His Majesty Juan Carlos I, King of Spain, Zarzuela Palace, Madrid.
