Representative Johnson: This year — 1997 — is the "Year of the Reader." Throughout the year, we will join in statewide efforts to highlight reading as an essential skill.
As part of the campaign, we have secured, on loan, a set of children's books for member and staff use. Members may wish to use these books in their discussions with groups of younger children. Members and staff are also welcome to borrow books to entertain young visitors to their offices. Today, with so many children around, might be a good day to check out a book or two!
The books are displayed in the glass-front book cases at the rear of the chambers. They will be rotated through the course of the year. The books currently in the cases are part of the SRA series and are arranged into four reading levels (starting with "Setting Out," for beginning readers, to "Well Underway," to "Forging Ahead," to "Gathering Speed," for more advanced readers.) Within each level are series of books encompassing a variety of interests. Staff who want to check out books should see one of the security guards on the Floor.

WHEREAS, It is the policy of the Washington State Legislature to recognize excellence in all fields of endeavor; and
WHEREAS, George Washington, the first President of these great United States of America, was the epitome of excellence in leadership and service to his country; and

WHEREAS, George Washington's accomplishments and contributions as a native son of the original American Colonies, from Westmoreland, Virginia, were sparked by the original pioneering spirit; and
WHEREAS, George Washington's lifetime commitment to education began with valued home tutoring by his mother, Mary Ball Washington, and continued with his educational studies at the venerable institution of William and Mary College, Williamsburg, Virginia, of which he later became its first Chancellor; and
WHEREAS, George Washington's brave and principled leadership was indispensable in our nation's early bid for freedom as he valiantly served as the Commander-in-Chief of the Continental Army during the Revolutionary War, where challenges of every kind, from the unrelenting hardships endured by the Continental Army at Valley Forge in 1777 to the size and experience of the British forces which might have overwhelmed a less dedicated army, were convincingly vanquished by loyalty to cause, strength of purpose, and nurture from the vision of the birth of a great and lasting nation for those with the fortitude to fight for liberty, equality, and justice; and
WHEREAS, George Washington, following the triumphant victory of the Continental Army, continued his inspirational leadership and service to his country by presiding over the Constitutional Convention in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania in 1787, wherein the greatest charter ever conceived was commissioned as the Constitution of the United States of America and later adopted and ratified by the several states to form the union of these great United States of America; and
WHEREAS, George Washington again resolutely answered his country's call to service when he faithfully assumed his duties as the first President of these great United States of America, thus ensuring this nation's progress toward liberty, equality, and justice for all;

WHEREAS, The Washington State Legislature recognizes excellence in all fields of endeavor; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln, the sixteenth President of the United States of America, demonstrated the highest level of excellence in service to this nation; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln demonstrated unimpeachable moral character in all matters, and thereby earned for himself the nickname "Honest Abe"; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln, the son of a Kentucky frontiersman, was raised in a log cabin, cleared land and split rails to earn a living as a young man, and although he eventually attained great stature in public life, he never lost touch with the values he shared with the common person; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln made extraordinary efforts to obtain an education, often studying by candlelight late into the night, and is an example to today's youth of the success that is possible if a disciplined effort is made to seek an education; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln continues to be known and admired for his eloquent and accomplished oratory, and his ability to articulate the foundational principles of liberty and justice, as exemplified in his debate with Judge Stephen A. Douglas, in which Lincoln voiced opposition to slavery, as well as in his delivery of the Gettysburg Address; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln believed the republican form of government established by the Founding Fathers was the best means of ensuring freedom from despotic government, and he became the father of the Republican Party, dedicated to maintaining the principles of constitutional representation under the rule of law; and

WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln courageously issued the Emancipation Proclamation on January 1, 1863, which declared forever free those slaves within the Confederacy; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln, while President of the United States, issued a Proclamation declaring a national day of prayer, recognizing that "It is the duty of nations as well as of men to own their dependence upon the overruling power of God, and to confess their sins and transgressions in humble sorrow, yet with assured hope that genuine repentance will lead to mercy and pardon, and to recognize the sublime truth, announced in Holy Scripture, and proven by all history, that those nations only are blessed whose God is the Lord."; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln, within one month of being inaugurated as President, was confronted by the challenge of a Civil War, which tore at the fabric of the Union, pitting brother against brother, and family against family; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln responded to this challenge with a love of liberty, and a firm assurance in divine providence as his guide, directing the Union forces to victory; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln continued, throughout the conflict, to hold fast to the principles which he articulated in his second inaugural address, "With malice towards none, with charity for all, with firmness in the right, as God gives us to see the right," and, through adherence to these principles, helped bind the nation together and heal its wounds; and
WHEREAS, Abraham Lincoln suffered an untimely death at the hands of an assassin while attending Ford's Theater, just five days after bringing the Civil War to an end in April 1865; and
WHEREAS, The American people continue to be instilled with hope that the difficulties faced by our nation can be overcome, as we remember the words of Abraham Lincoln, "That this nation, under God, shall have a new birth of freedom, and that government of the people, by the people, for the people, shall not perish from the earth";
