President Clinton signed an act Friday naming a new federal building after former President Ronald Reagan.
The 1.9 million-square- foot Ronald Reagan Building and International Trade Center will be the second-largest federal building in the capital city. Only the Pentagon will be bigger.Sen. Daniel Moynihan, D-N.Y., said the building was "named for a great president and a good cause."
The building is the last section of the Pennsylvania Avenue rejuvenation project, which was started by President Kennedy.
