2 12 and
2 13 WHEREAS, President Reagan's commitment to an active
2 14 social policy agenda for the nation's children helped
2 15 lower crime and drug use; and
2 16 WHEREAS, President Reagan's commitment to the armed
2 17 forces contributed to the restoration of pride in
2 18 America, her values and those cherished by the free
2 19 world, and prepared America's armed forces to win the
2 20 Gulf War; and
2 21 WHEREAS, President Reagan's vision of "peace
2 22 through strength" led to the end of the Cold War and
