It's hard to say whether this was a funny quip, or an actual gaffe. Ronald Reagan is well-known for both.
The Quote:
"I have left orders to be awakened at any time in case of National Emergency -- even if I'm in a cabinet meeting,"
Who Said It:
A former actor and Governor of California, Ronald Reagan (1911-2004) was a Republican politician who served as the 40th President of the United States from 1981 to 1989 a.k.a. "The Reagan Era." An important figure in The Conservative Movement, Reagan is perhaps best known for "Reaganomics" and the historic line, "Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!" (June 1987 at the Brandenburg Gate) (source)
