13 [January 20, 2000] provided quality medical services to Chicago area veterans for many years; and WHEREAS, The North Chicago Veterans' Affairs Medical Center is also of vital interest to the residents of North Chicago and Lake County; and WHEREAS, The city of North Chicago is in need of jobs and economic development, and cutting services at the North Chicago Veterans' Affairs Medical Center would result in a loss of jobs and revenue in the community; and WHEREAS, The city of North Chicago has a large number of minority residents, many of whom would be affected by cutbacks at the North Chicago Veterans' Affairs Medical Center; and WHEREAS, Cutting services at the North Chicago Veterans' Affairs Medical Center would be detrimental to the veterans and residents of Lake County; therefore be it RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-FIRST GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that we urge the Illinois congressional delegation and the United States Veterans Administration to support keeping the North Chicago Veterans' Affairs Medical Center open without cutbacks; and be it further RESOLVED, That a copy of this resolution be transmitted to each member of the Illinois congressional delegation and the chief officer of the United States Veterans Administration.

HOUSE JOINT RESOLUTION 40 Offered by Representative Mitchell: WHEREAS, On February 12, 1809, Abraham Lincoln was born in the most modest of circumstances in a log cabin near Hodgenville, Kentucky; at the age of 21, he set out for a new home located on the north bank of the Sangamon River, in New Salem, Illinois, where he served as Deputy Surveyor and Postmaster; his kindness, straightforward conduct, and sympathetic character helped create in the popular mind the stereotype of "Honest Abe"; and WHEREAS, On August 4, 1834, Abraham Lincoln, at age 24, was elected to the Illinois General Assembly as a State Representative from the Whig party; he was reelected 3 more times, serving until 1842; through his bold leadership and forward thinking, he was elevated by his peers to the elected position of Whig floor leader and served as chairman of the Finance Committee; he was a consistent supporter of conservative business interests and brought about the relocation of the State capital from Vandalia to Springfield; when certain resolutions denouncing anti-slavery agitation were passed by the House, he took a bold position through a written declaration stating that slavery was "founded on both injustice and bad policy, but that the promulgation of abolition doctrines tends rather to increase than abate its evils"; and WHEREAS, Mr. Lincoln served in the United States House of Representative as an Illinois Whig from 1847 through 1849, serving on the Post Office and Post Roads Committee, as well as the War Department Expenditures Committee; he opposed United States involvement in the
[January 20, 2000] 14 Mexican War but continued to support appropriations to supply the troops involved in the war; he continued to promote federally funded internal improvements and worked unsuccessfully to abolish the slave trade in Washington, D.C.; and WHEREAS, On May 29, 1856, Mr. Lincoln helped organize the new Republican Party of Illinois, speaking with a new authority gained from self-imposed intellectual discipline in behalf of the anti-slavery cause; and WHEREAS, On November 6, 1860, Abraham Lincoln was elected the 16th President of the United States and the first Republican; he received 180 of 303 possible electoral votes and 40% of the popular vote, defeating Northern Democrat Stephen A. Douglas and Southern Democrat John C. Breckinridge; convinced that the United States was more than an ordinary nation, that it was a proving ground for the idea of democratic government, he displayed an unflinching dedication to the preservation of the Union; he never wavered in his "paramount object" to restore national unity despite war-weariness and repeated defeats; he did what was necessary, without regard to political objections in Congress or personal popularity; and WHEREAS, On January 1, 1863, President Lincoln issued the Emancipation Proclamation that declared forever slaves free within the Confederacy; with the possibility that his action would not be sustained by the Supreme Court, he strongly urged and succeeded in getting Congress to adopt the 13th Amendment, forever abolishing slavery throughout the country; realizing that minimal guarantees of civil rights for blacks were essential, he began to advocate for equality by the end of the war; and WHEREAS, Partly because of his single-minded dedication, the American people, in time, gave to Abraham Lincoln a loyalty that proved to be another of his great assets; he learned what ordinary citizens felt about their government by making himself accessible to all who went to the White House; his mastery of rhetoric further endeared him to the public; he wrote clearly and succinctly in an age of pretentious orators; his 268-word address meant more than the preceding 2-hour oration by Edward Everett at the dedication of the national cemetery at Gettysburg; the clear focus and eloquent, sophisticated style of the Gettysburg address has helped it survive for more than a hundred years as one of the greatest speeches ever delivered; and WHEREAS, Lincoln was inaugurated into his second term as President on March 4, 1865, overwhelmingly defeating Union General George B. McClellan; he enunciated a comprehensive reconstruction program, pledging pardon and amnesty to Confederates who were prepared to swear loyalty to the Union and promising to turn back control of local governments to the civil authorities in the South; on April 14, 1865, one month after taking office, he was shot and killed while attending a performance at Ford's Theater in Washington; and WHEREAS, Illinois is where Mr. Lincoln lived, worked, and spent many happy days in the municipalities of New Salem, and Springfield; throughout his days in public service he embodied personal integrity, intelligence, and humanity; it is only fitting and proper that this great President who played such a vital role as the leader in preserving the Union and abolished slavery in the United States should be duly honored and commemorated by the gracious people of this State to whom Abraham Lincoln brought so much character, determination, and perseverance in the Illinois General Assembly, United States Congress, and as the President of the United States; and WHEREAS, On February 6, 1911, Ronald Wilson Reagan was born to Nelle and John Reagan in Tampico, Illinois; he attended high school in nearby Dixon and then worked his way through Eureka College; at Eureka College, he studied economics and sociology, played on the football team, and acted in school plays; upon graduation, he became a radio sports announcer; a screen test in 1937 won him a contract in Hollywood and during the next 2 decades he appeared in 53 films; and WHEREAS, As president of the Screen Actors Guild, Ronald Reagan became embroiled in disputes over the issue of Communism in the film
15 [January 20, 2000] industry; his political views shifted from liberal to conservative; he toured the country as a television host, becoming a spokesman for conservatism; in 1966 he was elected Governor of California by a margin of a million votes; he was re-elected in 1970; and WHEREAS, Ronald Reagan won the Republican presidential nomination in 1980 and chose as his running mate former Texas Congressman and United Nations Ambassador George Bush; voters troubled by inflation and by the year-long confinement of Americans in Iran swept the Republican ticket into office; and WHEREAS, On January 20, 1981, Mr. Reagan took office; only 69 days later he was shot by a would-be assassin but quickly recovered and returned to duty; his grace and wit during the dangerous incident caused his popularity to soar; and WHEREAS, Dealing skillfully with Congress, Reagan obtained legislation to stimulate economic growth, curb inflation, increase employment, and strengthen national defense; he embarked upon a course of cutting taxes and government expenditures, refusing to deviate from his course when the strengthening of defense forces led to a large deficit; and WHEREAS, A renewal of national self-confidence by 1984 helped President Reagan and Vice President Bush win a second term with an unprecedented number of electoral votes; and WHEREAS, In 1986, Ronald Reagan obtained an overhaul of the income tax code that eliminated many deductions and exempted millions of people with low incomes; at the end of his administration, the nation was enjoying its longest recorded period of peacetime prosperity without recession or depression; and WHEREAS, In foreign policy, Ronald Reagan sought to achieve "peace through strength"; in dramatic meetings with Soviet leader Mikhail Gorbachev, he negotiated a treaty that would eliminate intermediate-range nuclear missiles; President Reagan declared war against international terrorism, sending American bombers against Libya after evidence came out that Libya was involved in an attack on American soldiers in a West Berlin nightclub; and WHEREAS, By ordering naval escorts in the Persian Gulf, he maintained the free flow of oil during the Iran-Iraq war; in keeping with the Reagan Doctrine, he gave support to anti-Communist insurgencies in Central America, Asia, and Africa; and WHEREAS, At the end of his 2 terms in office, Ronald Reagan viewed with satisfaction the achievements of his innovative program known as the Reagan Revolution, which aimed to reinvigorate the American people and reduce their reliance upon government; he felt he had fulfilled his campaign pledge of 1980 to restore "the great, confident roar of American progress and growth and optimism"; and WHEREAS, The Reagan years saw a restoration of prosperity, and the goal of peace through strength was within the nation's grasp; and WHEREAS, Ulysses Simpson (U.S. "Unconditional Surrender") Grant was the best-known Federal general in the United States Civil War; because of his military prowess and daring, he helped to shorten the time of that great and bitter conflict; and WHEREAS, U.S. Grant's exploits in the Civil War earned him the Republican nomination and ultimately 2 terms as the 18th President of the United States; as President, he pushed for conciliation toward the South, sought unconditional readmission of Virginia to the Union, relentlessly opposed the Ku Klux Klan in his ever stalwart detestation of slavery and its aftermath, and established a strong record in foreign affairs; and WHEREAS, Although dying of throat cancer, he wrote his now classic memoirs in an effort to support his family and to guarantee that they would be provided for upon his death; and WHEREAS, U.S. Grant died on July 23, 1885, and his body was finally laid to rest amidst much pomp, circumstance, parades, and speeches; and WHEREAS, Illinois is where U.S. Grant lived, worked, and spent many happy days in the municipality of Galena; and it is only fitting and proper that this great General and President who played such a critical role in saving the Republic should be duly honored and commemorated by
[January 20, 2000] 16 the gracious people of this State to whom Grant brought so much glory; therefore be it RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE NINETY-FIRST GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, THE SENATE CONCURRING HEREIN, that the great contributions of Illinois' presidents, Abraham Lincoln, Ronald Reagan, and Ulysses Simpson Grant, to the State of Illinois and to the entire nation, should be commemorated by the State Treasurer in accordance with the Commemorative Medallions Act.
