THE BETTER YOU . iiMT UNITED STATES SECRET SERVICE IT’S NOT IXACTIY YOUR TYPICAL J00 1-800-827-7783 www.treas.gov/treasury/bureaus/usss DAY lO AM WASHINGTON (AP) — A bill to rename Washington’s airport for Ronald Reagan is on its way to be coming law just in time for hi§ 87th birthday — despite complaints from Democrats that Congress is trampling local rights. President Clinton will sign the bill, said spokesperson Mike Mc- Curry, because “I think for him it came down to a question of honor ing Ronald Reagan.” The Senate passed one bill Wednesday to rename Washing ton National Airport the Ronald Reagan Washington National Air port, 76-22. Later in the day, the House approved a slightly differ ent bill, 240-186, leaving out the word “Washington.” The House was expected to adopt the Sen ate’s version today, the eve of Rea gan’s birthday. House Speaker Newt Gingrich praised the renaming as a fitting tribute to an ailing president ‘‘who transformed the world” by helping bring down inflation and end the Cold War. “I hope that the president and Mrs. Reagan, watching this happen, will have some small sense that there is enormous affection in this country for Ronald Reagan, and there is a deep sense of gratitude for the leadership that he showed,” Gingrich said. “Ronald Reagan is the most a IL 9:30 PM loved man in America today’’said House Majority Leader Dick Armey. Reagan suffers from Alzheimer’s disease. Despite the outpouring of senti ment, opponents of the bill promised a court challenge. Rep. Janies P. Moran, Jr., who represents the Northern Virginia district where the airport is located, said changing the name would cost the business es in and around it hundreds of thousands of dollars to change signs and stationery. "It is unprecedented to rename a facility ... in the jurisdiction of a member of this Congress when that member opposes that name,” Moran said in a floor speech. “If we do this it will be an arrogant abuse of power, it will be partisan, and it will be wrong.” Several lawmakers and union members also said there must be more fitting tributes for a leader who fired 11,000 striking air traffic controllers, presided over a bal looning national debt and champi oned local control over projects. “How ironic that in the name of Ronald Reagan, we would do the very thing that he opposed the most," said Daschle, of South Dakota. In the House, Democrat David Obey ofWisconsin proposed that in stead the office that deals with debt should be renamed “the Ronald Reagan Bureau of Public Debt.” 0°/o FINANCE CHARGE. BUY NOW.
