2 5 and
2 6 WHEREAS, Mr. Reagan's commitment to an active
2 7 social policy agenda for the nation's children helped
2 8 lower crime and drug use in the nation's communities
2 9 and neighborhoods; and
2 10 WHEREAS, President Reagan's commitment to the
2 11 nation's armed forces contributed to the restoration
2 12 of pride in America, American values and those
2 13 cherished by the free world, and prepared America's
2 14 armed forces to win the Gulf War; and
2 15 WHEREAS, President Reagan's vision of "peace
2 16 through strength" led to the end of the Cold War and
2 17 the ultimate demise of the Soviet Union, guaranteeing
2 18 basic human rights for millions of people; and
2 19 WHEREAS, on February 6, 2003, Ronald Reagan will
