  1 10 A House Resolution to recognize February 6 as "Ronald
  1 11    Reagan Day".
  1 12    WHEREAS, President Ronald Wilson Reagan, a man of
  1 13 humble background, worked throughout his life serving

  1 15 employed as an entertainer, union leader, corporate
  1 16 spokesman, Governor of California, and President of
  1 17 the United States; and
  1 18    WHEREAS, Ronald Reagan began his career by
  1 19 broadcasting radio announcements and advertising at
  1 20 radio station WOC in Davenport, Iowa, in 1932, going
  1 21 on to become the sports announcer at WHO radio in Des
  1 22 Moines when the stations merged, until 1937 when he
  1 23 traveled to California to cover baseball spring
  1 24 training, and was signed by Warner Brothers to appear
  1 25 in motion pictures; and
  1 26    WHEREAS, President Reagan served with honor and
  1 27 distinction for two terms as the 40th President of the
  1 28 United States of America; the second of which he was
  1 29 victorious in 49 of the 50 states in the general
  1 30 election, earning the confidence of three-fifths of
  2  1 the electorate, a record unsurpassed in the history of
  2  2 American presidential elections; and
  2  3    WHEREAS, in 1981, when Ronald Reagan was
  2  4 inaugurated President, he inherited a disillusioned
  2  5 nation shackled by rampant inflation and high
  2  6 unemployment; and
  2  7    WHEREAS, during Mr. Reagan's presidency, he worked
  2  8 in a bipartisan manner to enact his bold agenda of
  2  9 restoring accountability and common sense to
  2 10 government which led to an unprecedented economic
  2 11 expansion and opportunity for millions of Americans;
  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
  2 23 the ultimate demise of the Soviet Union, guaranteeing
  2 24 basic human rights for millions of people; and
  2 25    WHEREAS, on February 6, 2001, Ronald Reagan will
  2 26 reach the age of 90, thus becoming both the oldest
  2 27 active and oldest former President in the history of
  2 28 our nation; NOW THEREFORE,
  2 29    BE IT RESOLVED BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES,
  2 30 That the House of Representatives hereby recognizes
  3  1 February 6, 2001, as "Ronald Reagan Day".
