This concurrent resolution honors former First Lady Barbara Bush on what would have been her 100th birthday in June 2025. The resolution recognizes her life accomplishments and public service, including her work as Second Lady during the Reagan-Bush administration and her tenure as First Lady when her husband served as the 41st President. During her time in government, Bush championed literacy initiatives, established the Barbara Bush Foundation for Family Literacy in 1989, and helped secure passage of the National Literacy Act of 1991. The resolution also notes her historic distinction as only the second woman in U.S. history to be both a President's wife and a President's mother. This is a ceremonial measure with no funding or programmatic requirements—it simply expresses Congress's respect and gratitude for her contributions to the nation.
