13 American presidential elections; and
14 WHEREAS, in Idaho, Ronald Reagan won sixty-six percent of the popular vote
15 for President in 1980 and seventy-two percent of the popular vote for Presi-

17 vote for President Reagan during those elections; and
18 WHEREAS, in 1981, when Ronald Reagan was inaugurated President, he
19 inherited a disillusioned nation shackled by rampant inflation and high unem-
20 ployment; and
21 WHEREAS, during his presidency Mr. Reagan worked in a bipartisan manner to
22 enact his bold agenda of restoring accountability and common sense to govern-
23 ment which led to an unprecedented economic expansion and opportunity for
24 millions of Americans; and
25 WHEREAS, Mr. Reagan's commitment to an active social policy agenda for the
26 nation's children helped lower crime and drug use in our neighborhoods; and
27 WHEREAS, President Reagan's commitment to our armed forces contributed to
28 the restoration of pride in America, her values and those cherished by the
29 free world, and prepared America's armed forces to win the Gulf War; and
30 WHEREAS, President Reagan's vision of "peace through strength" led to the
31 end of the Cold War and the ultimate demise of the Soviet Union, guaranteeing
32 basic human rights for millions of people; and
33 WHEREAS, on February 6, 2002, Ronald Reagan will have reached the age of
34 ninety-one years thus becoming the oldest living former President.
35 NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED by the members of the Second Regular Ses-
36 sion of the Fifty-sixth Idaho Legislature, the House of Representatives and
