today we honor a man who has had a profound impact on the lives of us all, a positive impact that has had a reverberating positive effect, not just here in the United States, but worldwide. In the past I have taken time on this floor to expound at length upon many of President Reagan's achievements. He more than fulfilled his pledge to help restore ``the great, confident roar of American progress, growth, and optimism'' and ensure renewed economic prosperity. Today I simply want to pay tribute to the man who has left his permanent stamp on the course of history. We salute that gentleman who has turned 91 today and pay tribute to him. God bless you, President Reagan. We are all eternally grateful for that unprecedented role that you played in our national experience and it will never be forgotten.
