          DIGEST:  This resolution recognizes February 6, 2016, as Ronald Reagan  
          Day.  
          ANALYSIS:  This resolution makes the following legislative  
          findings:


          1)President Reagan, a man of humble background, worked  
            throughout his life serving freedom and advancing the public  
            good, having been employed as an entertainer, union leader, a  
            corporate spokesman, Governor of California, and President of  
            the United States.

          2)February 6, 2016, will be the 105th anniversary of Ronald  
            Reagan's birth and the 11th since his passing.

          3)Ronald Reagan served with honor and distinction for two terms  
            as the 40th President of the United States of America; and his  
            commitment to our Armed Forces contributed to the restoration

                                                                    Page  2



            lower crime and drug use in our neighborhoods; and his vision  
            of "peace through strength" led to the end of the Cold War.

          5)In 1987 President Reagan gave a speech at the Berlin Wall  
            where he famously told Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev to  
            "tear down this wall," which later became reality in 1989.

          This resolution recognizes February 6, 2016, as Ronald Reagan  
          Day, and states that the Legislature takes great pride in  
          honoring Ronald Reagan for his many contributions to our country  
          and in celebrating his life.
