Mr. Speaker, this bill designates the Federal building located at 228 Walnut Street, Harrisburg, Pennsylvania, as the Ronald Reagan Federal Building. Former President Reagan was our country's 40th President. He was a magnetic leader whose greatest legacy was perhaps his call to Mr. Gorbachev to "tear down this wall." His talents and his personal touch enabled him to rally support for his programs, often convincing even his greatest critics to see things his way. His charisma along with his sense of humor have earned him a special place in our Nation's history. I urge passage of this bill.

I’m thrilled to help deliver $110 million to the Yountville Veterans home to expand care. We owe a great debt to the men and women who served in our armed forces — investing in expanded care for our veterans just makes sense.
