President Bush declares that Tuesday will be a day of mourning for former President Gerald Ford, Reuters reports.
CRAWFORD, Texas (Reuters) - President George W. Bush has declared that Tuesday will be a day of mourning for former President Gerald Ford, who died this week, a White House spokesman said on Thursday.
Bush's declaration means that federal offices will be closed on that day. After a private funeral in Palm Desert, California, Ford's body is to be flown to Washington and his casket will lie in state this weekend at the Capitol. A service will be held at the National Cathedral on Tuesday.

We're wondering this too. We have a big acquisition closing at work scheduled for Tuesday and it could mess things up

Re: President Bush declares that Tuesday will be a day of mourning for former President Gerald Ford, Reuters reports.
So can I tell my husband that as an American abroad I get the day off from being the mother of his son, and that according to President George W. Bush of the US of A, I can go to the spa and get a massage and a facial???
Is that what this newsflash is saying???

I work at a public college, and I remember with Reagan's death it wasn't automatic for state agencies to be closed when it was a federal holiday, but the governor declared it a state holiday (is that what you call it?) so all state offices and orgs. were shut.
