PERSONAL PRIVILEGE

Senator Padden: “Thank you Mr. President. Today is the anniversary of the birthday of the Fortieth President of the United States, the Honorable Ronald Wilson Reagan, who was born in the heartland of America, in Illinois, on this day in 1911. He had an illustrious career as many of us know, was a lifeguard, saved numerous, numerous individuals, saved their lives as a lifeguard. Later went on, I thought maybe the most interesting parts of his life, as a radio broadcaster doing the play-by-play games for the Iowa affiliate of the Chicago Cubs. Later, of course, he went on to become an actor, a spokesperson for General Electric Theater and really came on the political scene, as often happens Mr. President, from the ashes of defeat. Sometimes we rise to victory. He was involved in one of the greatest defeats of any Republican candidate, somebody who I worked for back in 1964, Barry Goldwater. He gave a speech that was heard around the nation that propelled him into notoriety at the end of that campaign, later led him to become Governor of California in ’66, and from there he had quite a distinguished record as Governor of California, ran for president in ’76. Then, of course, was elected President in ’80 and ’84, and he brought a new outlook to government. Some of the things that Ronald Reagan said, there are so many things, I actually have a little display Mr. President outside my office in the Newhouse Building if anybody is around that area and wanted to see some of the quotes of Reagan, but he made the one famous statement that: ‘Government is not the solution to the problem. Government is the problem,’ and: ‘When government expands, liberty contracts.’ He also indicated that the basis of conservatism is the desire for less government, less interference, less centralized authority, and more individual freedom. So, in 1980, he ran for president. He received 489 electoral college votes, Mr. President. The only states that he did not carry, kind of interesting in today’s political context, Georgia, West Virginia, Minnesota, and the District of Columbia. And four years later he had one of the greatest electoral college victories ever in 1984, getting 525 electoral college votes out of a maximum of 538. The only state he did not carry was his opponent’s home state of Minnesota, which was very close, and the District of Columbia. But not only did he promote freedom here in the United States of America, he promoted freedom throughout the world. And through his leadership, along with two of his crucial allies, Pope John Paul II and Margaret Thatcher, we were able to tear down the iron curtain and literally tear down the Berlin Wall. We all remember when he made his trip to Berlin, to the Brandenburg Gate. He said, ‘I come here to this gate Mr. Gorbachev, open the gate. Mr. Gorbachev, tear down this wall!’ And some of his speech writers, Mr. President, didn’t want him to put that in. They thought it was too provocative but he knew what he wanted to say. He was his own person, he put that in and it became very, very famous. One of the other things he said about foreign policy is that there is a: ‘Focus of evil in the modern world. … I urge you to beware the temptation … to ignore the facts of history and the aggressive impulses of any evil empire, to simply call the arms race a giant misunderstanding and thereby remove yourself from the struggle between right and wrong, good and evil.’ So, I have always been an admirer of the Fortieth President of the United States Mr. President and I think it is appropriate to recognize his birthdate, his influence on our country, and I would like to close with just some remarks he made towards the end of his eight years as president. He said, ‘We did it. We weren’t just marking time. We made a difference. We made the city stronger. We made the city freer, we left here in good hands. All in all, not bad, not bad at all. And so, good bye, God bless you, and God bless the United States of America.’ Thank you Mr. President.”

REMARKS BY SENATOR LIIAS

Senator Liias: “Thank you Mr. President. I appreciate Senator Padden’s comments and I would note that he was such a great admirer of President Reagan that he actually cast an electoral vote for him in 1976, four years before he was the nominee of the Republican Party. So, Senator Padden’s appreciation for President Reagan is well documented in history. I will also note, Mr. President, that today is the 52^nd birthday of singer Rick Astley, and Mr. President we are ‘never gonna give you up,’ so we are going to move that the Senate go at ease subject to the call of the President.”

MOTION

At 8:40 a.m., on motion of Senator Liias, the Senate was declared to be at ease subject to the call of the President for the purposes of receiving reports of standing committees later in the day.

EVENING SESSION

The Senate was called to order at 11:10 p.m. by President Habib.
