On the recordFebruary 6, 2001
Today history is made, as President Ronald Wilson Reagan is one of only three Presidents to reach the age of 90. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to wish President Reagan a Happy Birthday! President Reagan is the reason I am able to stand here before my colleagues today. His strength as a leader inspired me to someday serve this great nation, as he so eloquently has served. And I feel honored that I have been given the opportunity. Because of his hard work and devotion to conservative ideals, his presidency resulted in one of the most dynamic periods in recent U.S. history, refocusing our nation's business, international and social agendas. We are a better country today because of his leadership. It is my hope that I may be able to work with my colleagues to continue what President Reagan started, 'to make government work with us, not over us; stand by our side, not ride on our back.'
