Reagan, well answering workers' questions, noted that housing starts — a concern of the lumber industry — were down, but predicted that if Congress acted to cut budget deficits, "before too long we will see interest rates coming down again" and the housing market would improve.
Speaking of worries about interest rates on Wall Street, Reagan said, "I think they're being unnecessarily pessimistic."

“Occasionally the interests of diplomacy and the interests of American industry sometimes seem to collide,” he said. “I see it as our job to reconcile the two, and make it easier for me to open up new markets on a fair footing.”
Reagan took credit for "major progress" in eliminating impediments to trade with Japan, the biggest overseas market for U.S. goods, and predicted further progress in the near future.

"That's the backdrop — a real American comeback story," he said. "And I think it's just begun."
The visit to Tacoma was the opening event in Reagan's two-week journey, the president's first overseas trip of the election year.
