I have no clue what engagement you are talking about, only that Reagan's 1st term was nothing like his 2nd, and that after he was shot he decided to re-open diplomatic relations with the Vatican
On March 30, 1981, President Ronald Reagan was shot and wounded by John Hinckley Jr. as he was returning to his limousine after a speaking engagement at the Washington Hilton
The event was a luncheon organized by the AFL-CIO union, and Reagan was there to address the union members. In his speech, he emphasized his commitment to working with labor unions and his belief in the importance of the American worker. He also touched on various political issues, such as tax cuts and national defense. During his speech, President Reagan said, "In this present crisis, government is not the solution to our problem; government is the problem. From time to time, we've been tempted to believe that society has become too complex to be managed by self-rule, that government by an elite group is superior to government for, by, and of the people." After finishing his speech, Reagan was returning to his limousine when John Hinckley Jr. attempted to assassinate him. Despite being shot and wounded, Reagan survived the attack and continued to serve as President until 1989.
