	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   ACR 5, Wilk. Ronald Reagan Day.
   This measure would declare February 6, 2013, as Ronald Reagan Day.




   WHEREAS, President Ronald Wilson Reagan, a man of humble
background, worked throughout his life serving freedom and advancing
the public good, having been employed as an entertainer, union
leader, corporate spokesman, Governor of California, and President of
the United States; and
   WHEREAS, Ronald Reagan is the only person in California's 163-year
history to be elected to the offices of Governor of the State of
California and President of the United States; and
   WHEREAS, Ronald Reagan served with honor and distinction for two
terms as the 40th President of the United States of America, the
second of which he earned the confidence of three-fifths of the
electorate in 1984, emerging victorious in 49 of the 50 states in the
general election--a record unsurpassed in the history of American
presidential elections; and
   WHEREAS, In 1981, when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated President, he
inherited a disillusioned nation shackled by rampant inflation and
high unemployment; and
   WHEREAS, President Reagan's commitment to the nation's children
helped lower crime and drug use in our neighborhoods; and
   WHEREAS, President Reagan's commitment to our Armed Forces
contributed to the restoration of pride in America, her values, and
those cherished by the free world, and prepared America's Armed
Forces to meet 21st century challenges; and
   WHEREAS, President Reagan's vision of "peace through strength" led
to the end of the Cold War; and
   WHEREAS, February 6, 2013, will be the 102nd anniversary of Ronald
Reagan's birth, and the ninth since his passing; now, therefore, be
it
   Resolved by the Assembly of the State of California, the Senate
thereof concurring, That the Legislature takes great pride in
honoring Ronald Reagan for his many contributions to our country and
in celebrating his life; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Legislature recognizes February 6, 2013, as
Ronald Reagan Day; and be it further
   Resolved, That the Chief Clerk of the Assembly transmit copies of
this resolution to the author for appropriate distribution.
