| * * * MEDIA ADVISORY * * * STATEMENT BY R. DUKE BLACKWOOD |
| Due to the overwhelming
response for those showing respect for President Reagan, we have extended
the public viewing hours until 10:00 this evening. However, as of 6:00
this morning, the wait on the freeway was approximately 3 hours. Those
not standing in line at Moorpark College by 3:00 this afternoon will regrettably
not be able to participate. The family is deeply touched by this tremendous
outpouring of support and regrets that everyone will not be able to be
accommodated. As of 6:00 this morning, over 40,000 people have come to
the Library. |
| We would like to remind everyone that anyone wanting to pay respect still has an opportunity to do so during his final journey home to the Library on Friday, June 11th. The final motorcade route and timing from Point Mugu to the Library will be announced on Thursday, June 10th. |
