Senate Concurrent RESOLUTION—Recognizing February 6, 2003, as Ronald Reagan Day.

 

    Whereas, Former President Ronald Wilson Reagan, a man of humble background, worked throughout his life to preserve freedom and advance the public good, having been employed as an entertainer, a Union leader, a corporate spokesman, the Governor of California and the President of the United States; and

    Whereas, Ronald Reagan served with honor and distinction for two terms as the 40th President of the United States; and

    Whereas, In 1981, when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated President, he inherited a disillusioned nation shackled by rampant inflation and high unemployment; and

    Whereas, During his second election, Ronald Reagan earned the confidence of three-fifths of the electorate and was victorious in 49 of the 50 states in the general election, a record unsurpassed in the history of American presidential elections; and

    Whereas, During Ronald Reagan’s presidency, he worked in a

 bipartisan manner to enact his bold agenda of restoring

 accountability and common sense to government which led to an

 unprecedented economic expansion and opportunity for millions of

 Americans; and

    Whereas, Ronald Reagan’s commitment to America’s Armed

 Forces contributed to the restoration of pride in America, her values

 and those cherished by the free world, and prepared the Armed

 Forces of the United States to win the Gulf War; and

    Whereas, Former President Reagan’s vision of “peace through

 strength” led to the end of the “Cold War” and the ultimate demise

 of the Soviet Union, guaranteeing basic human rights for millions

 of people; and

    Whereas, After two terms in office, Ronald Reagan’s

 innovative and challenging program known as the “Reagan

 Revolution,” which focused on reinvigorating the American people

and reducing their reliance upon government, was considered a

complete success; and

    Whereas, Today, February 6, 2003, Ronald Wilson Reagan

 will have reached the age of 92 years; now, therefore, be it

    Resolved by the Senate of the State of Nevada, the

 Assembly Concurring, That the members of the Nevada

 Legislature hereby join the nation in recognizing this day,

February 6, 2003, as Ronald Reagan Day in honor of a man who

 dedicated his life to the service of our country; and be it further

    Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate prepare and

 transmit a copy of this resolution to Nancy Reagan, Ronald

 Reagan’s loving and devoted wife of 50 years.
