          Celebrating the 90th Birthday of Lady Bird Johnson.

Whereas Mrs. Lyndon Baines Johnson was born Claudia Alta Taylor in Karnack, 
        Texas, on December 22, 1912, the daughter of Thomas Jefferson and Minnie 
        Pattillo Taylor;
Whereas at an early age, it was noted that she was ``purty as a lady bird,'' and 
        since that time she has been known to family, friends, and all Americans 
        as ``Lady Bird'';
Whereas Lady Bird Johnson, as wife of the 36th President of the United States, 
        served with great distinction as First Lady from 1963-1969;
Whereas Mrs. Johnson has dedicated her life to education and the beautification 
        of our environment, and provided a legacy of wildflowers growing along 
        our highways;
Whereas in 1982, Mrs. Johnson founded the National Wildflower Research Center 
        (later renamed the Lady Bird Johnson Wildflower Center) in Austin, 
        Texas, dedicated to the preservation and reestablishment of native 
        plants in natural and planned landscapes;
Whereas Mrs. Johnson is the recipient of our Nation's highest civilian award, 
        the Medal of Freedom, and in 1988 received the Congressional Gold Medal 
        from President Ronald Reagan; and
Whereas the American people have a great and lasting admiration and affection 
        for Lady Bird Johnson: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved, That the Senate--
            (1) celebrates the 90th birthday of Lady Bird Johnson on 
        December 22, 2002;
            (2) extends best wishes to Mrs. Johnson; and
            (3) directs the Secretary of the Senate to transmit an 
        enrolled copy of this resolution to--
                    (A) Lady Bird Johnson;
                    (B) the National Archives; and
                    (C) the Lyndon Baines Johnson Library and Museum.
