The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation is working alongside congressional leaders to plan the June 3 unveiling of a statue of President Ronald Reagan in the U.S. Capitol Rotunda.

Speaker Nancy Pelosi, Senate Majority Leader Harry Reid, Senate Republican Leader Mitch McConnell and House Republican Leader John Boehner will join former First Lady Nancy Reagan for the unveiling.

The Reagan statue will become part of the National Statuary Hall Collection, which is made up of statues donated by individual states to honor two notable figures in each state's history.

The Ronald Reagan Presidential Foundation led the efforts to donate the statue after the California State Senate and Assembly in August 2006 unanimously approved a resolution to send a statue to the Capitol.

Sculpted by American artist Chas Fagan of North Carolina, the statue measures 7 feet high, weighs 500 pounds and is cast in an everdur silicon bronze.

It is mounted on a 3-foot-high marble pedestal that contains the Great Seal of the governor of California on one side and the Great Seal of the president of the United States on the other.

More details on the ceremony will be announced at a later date.
