All non-essential federal employees
have an administrative day off on Friday. This is an executive order from George W. Bush so that federal employess can show respect for Ronald Reagan.

Is this new? Has the government been shut down for presidential funerals in the past? Maybe for Kennedy, but what about Eisenhower, Truman, Johnson, or Nixon - does anyone know?
