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

1-1  Whereas, During Ronald Reagan’s presidency, he worked in a

1-2  bipartisan manner to enact his bold agenda of restoring

1-3  accountability and common sense to government which led to an

1-4  unprecedented economic expansion and opportunity for millions of

1-5  Americans; and

1-6  Whereas, Ronald Reagan’s commitment to America’s Armed

1-7  Forces contributed to the restoration of pride in America, her values

1-8  and those cherished by the free world, and prepared the Armed

1-9  Forces of the United States to win the Gulf War; and

1-10      Whereas, Former President Reagan’s vision of “peace through

1-11  strength” led to the end of the “Cold War” and the ultimate demise

1-12  of the Soviet Union, guaranteeing basic human rights for millions of

1-13  people; and

1-14      Whereas, After two terms in office, Ronald Reagan’s

1-15  innovative and challenging program known as the “Reagan

1-16  Revolution,” which focused on reinvigorating the American people

1-17  and reducing their reliance upon government, was considered a

1-18  complete success; and

1-19      Whereas, Today, February 6, 2003, Ronald Wilson Reagan

1-20  will have reached the age of 92 years; now, therefore, be it

1-21      Resolved by the Senate of the State of Nevada, the

1-22  Assembly Concurring, That the members of the Nevada

1-23  Legislature hereby join the nation in recognizing this day,

1-24  February 6, 2003, as Ronald Reagan Day in honor of a man who

1-25  dedicated his life to the service of our country; and be it further

1-26      Resolved, That the Secretary of the Senate prepare and
