66th Legislative Day February 6, 2002

3rd Reading of the bill. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DONAHUE) Senator Philip. SENATOR PHILIP: Thank you, Madam President, Ladies and Gentlemen of the Senate. Senate Bill 1553 declares February 6 as Ronald in Illinois to honor the President of the United States. It's only a day of observance, not a legal school holiday or not a holiday for State employees. In the year 2002, twenty-four governors, seventeen states' legislative bodies have passed legislation honoring 's birthday. Today President Bush signed Denny Hastert's legislation that made Ronald Reagan's boyhood home, in Dixon, Illinois, a National Historic Site. If you look at longevity, he will be the longest-living President in the history of our country. He is ninety-one years old today. Back in colonial days, Jefferson lived to eighty-three, and, of course, back in colonial days, that was old. And Hoover was the second-oldest President that lasted the longest, ninety years. But Ronald Reagan has beat 'em all. He was born February 6th, 1911, in Tampico, Illinois. He's lived in Chicago, Galesburg, Monmouth, settling his family in Dixon. He graduated from Dixon High School. He was the student body president there. Played basketball, football and track. He graduated from Eureka College and served in the Army Reserve. We're very proud of his record. He's been a great communicator, a great President. So, I'll be happy to answer any questions. Would like to see a lot of green votes up there. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DONAHUE) Is there any discussion? Senator Sieben. SENATOR SIEBEN: Thank you very much, Madam President. I rise in strong support of this legislation as a cosponsor. Been my privilege,

3 STATE OF ILLINOIS 92ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT

66th Legislative Day February 6, 2002 for the last ten years, to represent Tampico, Illinois, in Whiteside County, to also represent Dixon, Illinois, in Lee County, to -- President Reagan's hometown, his birth site in Tampico and his childhood home in Dixon, Illinois. I would like to invite all Members of the General Assembly, when you're in northwest Illinois, to stop by Tampico and see his birthplace and stop in Dixon and see his childhood home. Great places, a great remembrance of a great President who today turns ninety-one years old. If you'd like to join us Friday night in Dixon, we will be celebrating Reagan Day at a great dinner at the Brandywine Restaurant. There'll be four, five hundred people there, be a great event to recognize and honor President Reagan's ninety-first birthday. So, I would ask that all Members vote Aye on this great legislation. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DONAHUE) You can take your conferences off the Floor. Will the Members please be in their seats? Senator Petka. SENATOR PETKA: Thank you, Madam President and Members of the Senate. I recently received a present from my family, a book from Peggy -- that was written by Peggy Noonan, called When______Character was King. It's the story of Ronald Reagan. As a young man, a young boy growing up in the City of Chicago and a member of the Catholic Church, we would pray, after every Sunday service, for the conversion of Russia. And as a young man, I wondered if we'd ever see that happen in our lifetime. It was because of the determination and the vision of President Reagan, in confronting what he referred to as the evil empire, that a very, very happy day in the history of the planet occurred when the -- the wall came down, the wall that Reagan asked to come down. And the Soviet Union literally crumbled from within, in large measure because the President of the United States and Pope John Paul II

4 STATE OF ILLINOIS 92ND GENERAL ASSEMBLY REGULAR SESSION SENATE TRANSCRIPT

66th Legislative Day February 6, 2002 had a meeting in which they discussed that communism was not inevitable, as the -- the Marxist-Leninists believed, but that freedom, and freedom as we know it in this country, was truly the will and the wish of mankind. Ronald Reagan typifies what is great in this country. From -- born of humble origin and rising, because of his own belief in the system, his own belief in American ideals and belief in his fellow man that he became President of the United States. And as a native of the State of Illinois, I believe that it is fitting, it is proper -- and proper that we recognize this great man's achievements in the quest for freedom on this planet. I -- I stand in support of this bill and I would ask for all to support it. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DONAHUE) Is there further discussion? Is there further discussion? Senator Philip, to close. SENATOR PHILIP: Thank you, Madam Chairman. Ronald Reagan, in 1984, in Decatur, Illinois, at a speech said this: "I'm proud of my Illinois roots. This is where I learned about the value of faith and family and work." He's a great American, great President, and we ought to have a lot of green votes up there. PRESIDING OFFICER: (SENATOR DONAHUE) The question is, shall Senate Bill 1553 pass. Those in favor will vote Aye. Opposed, Nay. And the voting's open. Have all voted who wish? Have all voted who wish?
