Ronald Reagan wrote in his diary on , "After dinner we ran Star Trek III. It wasn't too good." 

Reagan (then former president) visited the Paramount Pictures studios in  during the shooting of .  Although unfamiliar with most of Star Trek, he did enjoy meeting Patrick Stewart, Brent Spiner and the many Klingon background performers hired for the episode. Later, when asked about the Klingons, he said  "I like them. They remind me of Congress." During the tour through the sets including the Great Hall, an ailing Gene Roddenberry dropped his cane. The former president graciously knelt and retrieved it for him. Reagan later quipped, "I felt as if I had been knighted." ("Intergalactic Guest Stars" ("Presidential Visit: Ronald Reagan", TNG Season 5 DVD special feature) Patrick Stewart was more critical of the visit, stating, "Meeting Reagan was as grotesque and bizarre as you could image, and then more so. It was like being in the presence of a clockwork dummy. People would whisper in his ear and he would repeat what they said. He was very charming, but just not of this world." (Planet X, issue #1, p. 26)
