President Reagan Lies in Repose at the Reagan Library Thanks to the joint efforts of the MTA, the City of Simi Valley and the entire Volunteer staff, I am happy to report the wait time at Moorpark College to pay your respects for President Reagan at the Library is now under two hours. We have extended the cut-off time at Moorpark College to 6:00 p.m., pending further updates. |

Mrs. Reagan and the Reagan family would like to thank everyone for their patience and understanding. |
| Bell Tolling Ceremony At 1:15 EDT/10:15 PDT, on Friday, June 11th, at the conclusion of the State Funeral, the National Cathedral in Washington D.C. will toll its bell 40 times in honor of the fortieth president of the United States. Other churches across the country have indicated that they would like to join in this national tolling of the bells in honor of Ronald Reagan. The Reagan family has learned of this and is very touched by this gesture. I encourage other churches across the country to participate to make this a truly national tribute. |
