SENATE RESOLUTION 73--DESIGNATING FEBRUARY 6, 2007, AS ``RONALD REAGAN 
                                 DAY''

  Mr. ALLARD (for himself, Mrs. Feinstein, Mr. Coleman, Mr. Stevens, 
Mrs. Dole, Mrs. Hutchison, Mr. Vitter, Mr. Hatch, Mr. McCain, Mr. 
McConnell, and Mr. Reid) submitted the following resolution; which was 
considered and agreed to:

                               S. Res. 73

       Whereas President Ronald Wilson Reagan, a man of humble 
     background, worked throughout his life serving as an 
     entertainer, a corporate spokesman, Governor of California, 
     and President of the United States;
       Whereas Ronald Reagan served for 2 terms as the 40th 
     President of the United States;
       Whereas Ronald Reagan was elected to his second term by 
     almost three-fifths of the electorate, a percentage surpassed 
     only by the election of President Lyndon Baines Johnson in 
     1964, and was victorious in 49 of the 50 States in the 
     general election, an electoral college record unsurpassed in 
     the history of Presidential elections in the United States; 
     and
       Whereas February 6, 2007, will be the 96th anniversary of 
     Ronald Reagan's birth, and June 5, 2007, will be the third 
     anniversary of his passing: Now, therefore, be it
       Resolved, That the Senate--
       (1) designates February 6, 2007, as ``Ronald Reagan Day''; 
     and
       (2) encourages the people of the United States to observe 
     the day with appropriate ceremonies and activities.
