The Life and Legacy of President Ronald Reagan

Examining the life and legacy of President Ronald Reagan will be the focus of a symposium and panel discussion November 11 from 10 to 11:30 a.m. at the Marriott Wardman Park Hotel in Washington, D.C.

Part of an historic year-long celebration to commemorate President Reagan’s 100th birthday, the event is sponsored by the University of Notre Dame’s Rooney Center for the Study of American Democracy and the Ronald Reagan Foundation. It is free and open to the public.

The discussion will feature panelists who worked closely with President Reagan during his presidency and will focus on his domestic and economic policies and how the lessons learned during the Reagan years can be applied to the current economic climate. In addition, they will offer their personal memories of working with America’s 40th president.

Panelists include:

  • Edwin Meese, former attorney general of the United States
  • James Burnley, former U.S. Secretary of Transportation
  • Manley Johnson, former vice chairman of the Federal Reserve Board of Governors
  • James Miller, former director of the Office of Management and Budget

The panel will be moderated by journalist Judy Woodruff of PBS Newshour and Bloomberg News, and will stream live on C-SPAN3.
