I see that the Pennsylvania Senate adopted without a recored vote a similar resolution.

However the Senate resolution
deleted a few things.

WHEREAS, Ronald Reagan served with honor and distinction for two terms as the 40th President of the United States, the second of which he earned the confidence of 3/5 of the electorate; and
WHEREAS, Mr. Reagan was victorious in 49 of the 50 states in the 1984 general election, a record unsurpassed in the history of United States presidential elections; and

Comments on the deletions? (Or were they additions in the House?)
