  Ms. LEE. Mr. Speaker, I want to first wish former President Reagan 
and his wife well on his birthday and my thoughts and prayers are with 
them as he deals with the terrible disease of Alzheimer's. While I 
support those provisions in H.J. Res. 19, the bill went well beyond a 
simple birthday wish. I could not in good faith cast a vote for a bill 
that stated that the Reagan Administration ensured renewed economic 
prosperity when millions of Americans were hurt by its economic 
policies.
