                         CONCURRENT RESOLUTION


 
     Expressing the sense of Congress that an artistic tribute to 
    commemorate the speech given by President Ronald Reagan at the 
 Brandenburg Gate on June 12, 1987, should be placed within the United 
                            States Capitol.

Whereas the people of the United States successfully defended freedom and 
        democracy for over 40 years in a global Cold War against an aggressive 
        Communist tyranny;
Whereas President Ronald Wilson Reagan's demonstration of unwavering personal 
        conviction during this conflict served to inspire millions of people 
        throughout the United States and around the world to seek democracy, 
        freedom, and greater individual liberty; and
Whereas Ronald Wilson Reagan's determined stand against the Soviet empire during 
        his eight years as President served as the catalyst for the end of that 
        regime: Now, therefore, be it
    Resolved by the Senate (the House of Representatives concurring), 
That it is the sense of Congress that an artistic tribute to 
commemorate the speech given by President Ronald Reagan at the 
Brandenburg Gate on June 12, 1987, during which he uttered the immortal 
lines ``Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!'', should be placed within 
the United States Capitol.
