1 | | WHEREAS, The last two Presidents of the United States have |
2 | | used private donations to build
their libraries; and |
3 | | WHEREAS, No Presidential Libraries overseen by the |
4 | | National Archives and Records
Administration have received |
5 | | direct funding from either the Federal government or their
|
6 | | respective states; therefore, be it
|
7 | | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE |
8 | | NINETY-EIGHTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that |
9 | | we state the belief that, despite our utmost respect for the |
10 | | office of the President of the United States of America and the |
11 | | historical and academic importance of Presidential Libraries, |
12 | | the State of Illinois cannot afford to spend $100 million from |
13 | | taxpayer funds on this project; and be it further
|
14 | | RESOLVED, That we show our support for the efforts by many |
15 | | to locate a Presidential Library and Museum to the State of |
16 | | Illinois without the use of taxpayer funding; and be it further |
17 | | RESOLVED, That suitable copies of this resolution be |
18 | | delivered to the Governor of the State of
Illinois, the |
19 | | President and Minority Leader of the Illinois Senate, and the |
20 | | Speaker and Minority Leader of the Illinois House of |
21 | | Representatives.
