[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't get a day off for Reagn's funeral. It was HOT and I was approximately one zillion weeks pregnant and I remember being really irritated (by everything!)[/quote]

From the GWB White House Archives:

June 9, 2004 | 9:25 a.m.(EDT) 
Q: Melody from Mt. Clemens, Michigan:
Which government offices are being asked to close for Friday's National Day of Mourning for President Reagan? Is it just Federal Offices or are state, county and local government offices required to close? 
 
 A:Kay Coles James, Director, U.S. Office of Personnel Management: 
The Executive Order of President George W. Bush, which closed all executive departments, independent establishments, and other governmental agencies on June 11, 2004, as a mark of respect for President Ronald Reagan, refers only to the Federal Government.

During the National Day of Mourning, the pay and leave policies for Federal employees will be consistent with those in effect on a Federal holiday. The decision as to who must work on a holiday is left to each agency head and may be delegated down to lower levels - just like the decision to designate emergency employees for closings such as those that are weather-related.
