                           ONE FOR THE GIPPER

  (Mr. BUNN of Oregon asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BUNN of Oregon. Mr. Speaker, today is Ronald Reagan's birthday. 
As one of our greatest Presidents, Ronald Reagan won the cold war, 
expanded the economy, and restored America's faith in herself. He 
inspired us because in his heart, he knew the American people were 
crying our for a smaller Government, lower taxes, and a strong defense.
  Ronald Reagan fought for these goals over the unending objections of 
a do nothing Democrat Congress. Now, as he fights against the cruel 
indignities of Alzheimers disease, a Republican Congress meets to take 
up the line-item veto.
  Mr. Speaker, I cannot imagine a more appropriate birthday present 
than the passage of the line-item veto Ronald Reagan so desired, and so 
deserved. So, to my friends on the Republican side of the aisle--let us 
go to work, pass the line-item veto, and win one for the Gipper!
