This Senate resolution honors former First Lady Barbara Bush on what would have been her 100th birthday on June 8, 2025. The resolution recognizes her life of public service, including her work promoting literacy as Second Lady and First Lady, her establishment of the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy in 1989, and her role in passing the National Literacy Act of 1991. The resolution also acknowledges her historic distinction as only the second woman in U.S. history to be both the wife and mother of U.S. presidents. Barbara Bush passed away in 2018, but the Senate is using this milestone birthday to celebrate her contributions to American society and her legacy as a public servant. This is a ceremonial resolution that requires no funding and simply expresses the Senate's recognition of her achievements.
