HP obviously.
But he had basically nothing to do with neoconservatism. It didn't even really exist as an ideology until the very end of his presidency.
In fact the neoconservatives by the time they started appearing then were basically the GOOD guys in relation to Reagan since at least they opposed right-wing dictators. Early neocon thinkers were big supporters of forcing Ferdinand Marcos out and supporting the opposition to Pinochet. Neocons also didn't have the love for South Africa that Reagan did. Later though it became basically the single worst ideology taken seriously in the developed world today.
