                     IN HONOR OF NANCY DAVIS REAGAN

  (Mr. WILSON of South Carolina asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. WILSON of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, last week the American 
people lost a devoted public servant, Nancy Davis Reagan.
  As a former staff member of the Reagan administration, I will always 
appreciate the devotion of Nancy Reagan to the American people, 
especially to her husband ``Ronnie.''
  Nancy Reagan will always be cherished for how she inspired a Nation 
and showed that goodwill prevailed. She demonstrated that service by 
showing small acts could make a world of difference. Nancy's fierce 
love for her husband and her country was her service.
  A passionate advocate for drug awareness and prevention, Nancy Reagan 
launched the ``Just Say No'' program to fight drug and alcohol abuse 
among young people to promote fulfilling lives. She strived to always 
make a positive impact for our citizens.
  Mrs. Reagan showed that no act of kindness, no act of love, is too 
small to be meaningful. She practiced what she preached, living every 
day to the fullest. In every sense of the word, she was the very model 
of a First Lady, wife, and mother.
  In conclusion, God bless our troops, and may the President, by his 
actions, never forget September the 11th in the global war on 
terrorism.
  Happy 13th birthday, Addison.
