  TRIBUTE TO PRESIDENT REAGAN PROMOTING ALZHEIMER'S DISEASE AWARENESS

                                 ______


                        HON. ANDREA H. SEASTRAND

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 14, 1995
  Mrs. SEASTRAND. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay special tribute to 
President Ronald Reagan for his strength and courage as he and Mrs. 
Reagan strive to bring national attention to the American people 
regarding Alzheimer's disease.
  Throughout his long and successful political career, President Reagan 
chose, without hesitation, to tackle the most controversial issues of 
the day. Today, he and Mrs. Reagan are leaders in the effort to educate 
the public about Alzheimer's disease. Indeed, the Reagans are lending 
their support to efforts in Santa Barbara County which will help 
generate the dollars needed to provide services to those who have been 
stricken with this debilitating disease. The Alzheimer's Association of 
Santa Barbara is the beneficiary of this charitable effort.
  Santa Barbara knows of the Reagan's love for and interest in Santa 
Barbara County, and we are honored to have been able to call Santa 
Barbara the Western White House. Local residents and business owners 
remember their visits to Rancho del Cielo with great fondness, and we 
welcome them back whenever possible as heroes fighting for a new cause. 
The 22d Congressional District of California applauds President and 
Mrs. Reagan for their perseverance and we want them to know that our 
prayers are with them.
