As we prepare here in the Capitol to say our final goodbye to President Reagan let us remember his capacity to see the best in everyone, including those whose political views differed starkly from his own. Let us remember that there is no dishonour in accepting half a loaf. In the months ahead and as long as we are given the honour of serving within Congress let us search, work for principled compromise that serve the interests of the vast majority of Americans and that way we can help preserve President Reagan's great belief and hope that America's best days are indeed just ahead.
16. Pull back view of Senate floor
STORYLINE:
Californians converged by the tens of thousands to pay their respects to former United States President Ronald Reagan, choking freeway traffic, shuffling in lines for hours and forcing surprised organisers to extend Tuesday's viewing period.
Some came in their Sunday best, while others looked ready to hit the beach in shorts and sandals.
All fell silent at the first glimpse of Reagan's flag-draped casket.
The Ronald Reagan Presidential Library announced Tuesday that it had extended the end of viewing hours for another four hours until 10 pm local time due to the overwhelming response.
Once they reached the library, people had to stand in line for three hours or more to walk past the casket.
Reagan died Saturday at 93 after nearly a decade with Alzheimer's disease.
On Wednesday, his body is to be flown to Washington for a ceremony that night in the Capitol Rotunda.
Dozens of Army, Navy, Marine and Air Force troops - some with bayonets and swords - were rehearsing at the Capitol on Tuesday for their roles in Wednesday's ceremony, when Reagan's casket will be carried into the building.
They marched at the West Front of the Capitol, which looks out over the Washington Monument and the National Mall, including the Lincoln Memorial.
Amid the uniformed troops was a horse-drawn caisson, the wagon that will carry the casket, drawn by two dark brown horses and followed by a riderless horse.
For Wednesday's ceremonies, that horse will have a pair of empty boots turned backward in the stirrups to symbolize a commander's look back at the troops he will never again command.
On the Senate floor Democrats and Republicans alike paid tribute to President Reagan.
Friday will be a national day of mourning, with all federal offices and major financial markets closed.
The state funeral will be held Friday at Washington National Cathedral, with President Bush delivering a eulogy.
The body will then be returned to the Reagan library for burial Friday evening.
Ronald Reagan will be the 10th president to lie in state in the Capitol Rotunda, a rite last observed for a national leader when Lyndon Johnson died in 1973.

It was the sixth annual celebration of Mother's Day at the Vietnam War memorial honouring mothers of those who died during the Vietnam war.
As part of the ceremony, Girl Scouts gave roses and Mother's Day cards, made by children around the United States, to members of the American Gold Star Mothers and American War Mothers.
The organisations are for women who lost their children in battle and women who have children in military service.
Ann Herd, who is the National President of American Gold Star Mothers, lost her son Ronald Ward Herd during the Vietnam War.
Heard said although the pain of loosing a child remained, she felt all of the mothers honoured on Sunday appreciated the best wishes of children from around the country.

STORYLINE:
Volunteers on Saturday continued the tradition of placing Christmas wreaths from Maine on headstones at Arlington National Cemetery in Washington, DC.
Today's event marked the 16th year that Christmas tributes have been laid on the graves soldiers killed in combat.
This year, the number of wreaths given to the Arlington Wreath Project doubled to 10-thousand.
We gather here today to place approximately 10,000 wreaths on these headstones to remember the fallen, honour those who serve, and teach our children the value of freedom, said Wayne Hanson of the Maine State Society of Washington DC, the group that helped organise volunteer wreath-layers.
The caravan of wreaths left Maine on 10 December, 2007, and made several stops along the way.
For the finale, about three-thousand volunteers showed up at Arlington National Cemetery to help place the evergreen wreaths, each decorated with a scarlet ribbon.
Crowds lined up around trucks to pick up the wreaths and then headed out through the cemetery.
I just think of so many parents who've gotten a letter saying their child is gone, or a wife, or a husband, said Sheila Sunray, whose son is about the join the US Marines.
The wreaths were given by a firm in Maine, which has also donated wreaths to honour the nation's veterans in ceremonies at cemeteries and memorial sites in all 50 states and Puerto Rico.
Arlington is America's best known military cemetery and also the last resting place for many presidents and civilian contributors to national life.
Some 300-thousand people are buried there on 624 acres of ground, situated across the Potomac River from Washington DC.

They shouldn't even be making this decision to begin with, and a lot of people are upset that they are even considering making a change. But none the less, we are excited that they saw that people were concerned and that they weren't ready to make this decision and we're hoping they will do what they did six or seven months ago, is conclude that there is no reason to make a change.

12. SOUNDBITE (English) Jay Carney, White House Press Secretary:
The president believes the Boy Scouts is a valuable organisation that has helped educate and build character in American boys for more than a century. He also, as you know, opposes discrimination in all forms. And as such, believes as he said just on Sunday that gay Americans ought to be able to participate in the Boy Scouts, but in terms of the process of their evaluation of their policies, I don't have a comment.
Irving, Texas
13. Various exteriors of BSA headquarters
STORYLINE:
Members of the Boy Scouts of America (BSA) held a rally outside the group's headquarters in Texas on Wednesday as the organisation announced it will delay a decision on whether to ease its policy of excluding gays as Scouts and adult leaders.
The delay, which the Scouts attributed to the complexity of this issue, was announced on Wednesday after closed-door deliberations by the BSA's national executive board.
Under consideration was a proposal to ease the longstanding ban on gays by allowing sponsors of local troops to decide for themselves on gay membership.
The organisation had announced last week that it was considering allowing Scout troops to decide whether to allow gay membership.
As much as the iconic youth organisation has argued for the freedom to teach its own values to American boys, it is now deeply entangled in the broader cultural and political conflicts over such issues as same-sex marriage and religious freedom.
I'm so thankful that we live in a land where we can respect your right to disagree, Scout Leader Chris Hill said on Wednesday.
But we ask you to respect our right to uphold the values that we have held for over a hundred years, he added.
Gay-rights supporters contend that no Scout units anywhere should exclude gays, and vowed to maintain pressure on the BSA's corporate donors to achieve that goal.
Jennifer Tyrrell, an Ohio mother ousted as a leader of her son's Cub Scout pack because she's a lesbian said she had no doubt whatsoever that the BSA will eventually relax its rules.
The delay is just that, it's a delay. So I guess now we just wait until May for equality, she said.
Conservative leaders expressed relief that the ban on gays had not been lifted but made clear they would keep pressure on the BSA ahead of the May meeting.

STORYLINE:
US President Barack Obama is to welcome Japan's new prime minister Shinzo Abe to Washington DC on Friday.
Before meeting Obama at the White House, Abe laid a wreath at the Tomb of the Unknowns at the military cemetery in Arlington in Virginia.
Abe has been anxious for the Oval Office meeting since he returned to power after a convincing election victory in December for his second stint as prime minister since he resigned for health reasons in 2007 after serving for one year.
The U.S. partnership with Japan, which hosts about 50,000 American forces, is an enduring one and a cornerstone of Washington's Asia policy, but establishing a personal rapport between leaders has been difficult.
As Japan has struggled with its prolonged economic malaise, there's been a rotating door of prime ministers. Abe is the fifth since Obama took office.
Abe's market-pleasing moves to stimulate Japan's economy - dubbed Abenomics - have fuelled hope of a recovery and are expected to feature in a policy speech he will deliver at a Washington think tank after the meeting and working lunch with Obama at the White House.
The U.S. will be gauging Tokyo intent to join negotiations on the Trans-Pacific Partnership, a region-wide free trade pact being pushed by Washington.
Abe may give pointers, but is widely expected to hold back from such a commitment that is opposed by most of his party and Japan's small but politically powerful farming lobby, at least until after key elections in July for the upper house.

Howard Fain
F.D. Howard Fain was born in Jessamine County, Kentucky near its county seat, Nicholasville, in 1934 to the late Clifford B. and Beulah L. Fain. He was educated in the Jessamine County School system and attended the University of Kentucky, majoring in art. Through further training with I.C.S. in Pennsylvania, he earned a diploma in commercial art. During his years at U.K., he worked for an engineering firm as well as an architectural firm. He later held, for seventeen years, the position of Vice-President and interior designer for the Faulkner-Fain Corporation in Nicholasville. For 33 years until his death in August 2007 he was a full time artist and author. He was the founder and operator of Howard Fain gallery from May of 1968 until May of 1997, working later from his studio at his home.
His work is found in all 50 states as well as several foreign countries. Some of his better known works are the Largemouth and Smallmouth bass prints that were distributed by the Bass Anglers Sportsman Society in Alabama. His Kentucky-American print was released for America's 200th birthday and can be found in numerous governmental offices both in Kentucky and in Washington, D.C. Drawings and stories from his book Six Years before Electricity were published in 19 issues of County Life Extra magazine based in Glendale, Wisconsin. The pictures and stories in this book are from real life experiences as a farm boy growing up without electricity.
