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.”
