During a new surge in his popularity, "The Only President to Get Younger in Office," announced from the Oval Office on Sunday night, February 4, 1984 that he would run for re-election. His long-term goals included a 10-year goal to orbit a manned space station, and a meeting with Congressional Democrats to agree on a three-year, $100 billion deficit-reduction package. Nancy radiates her happiness over his decision and unabashedly gave him a kiss for the cameras.
