“mark your calendar. It is official. I have, in fact, as of this date and this hour heard everything: President Ronald Wilson Reagan on the occasion of his 91st birthday used as an example in the House of Representatives as a tax increaser in America and as an example of someone who believed in the virtue of tax increases. It is a privilege to rise on the 91st birthday of President Ronald Wilson Reagan. I had the privilege of meeting him in person. I did not know then what we would all come to know, how he would bestride history as few men who have occupied the Presidency would do; how he would rebuild our economy through tax cuts, believing in American entrepreneurism and ingenuity; how he would rebuild the military after years of reckless cutbacks and bring the godless Soviet Union to its knees. Mr. Speaker, though he cannot hear these words today or even yet remember what he did for America, I believe that soon, with eyes again young, Ronald Reagan will see what his courage has wrought and will hear those words, ``Well done, good and faithful servant.''”
