Is this normal for a Presidents funeral> How much will this cost us?

The federal government will be closed Friday in honor of former President Ronald Reagan, the White House announced Sunday.

Exempt from the closing are operations department and agency heads determine ``should remain open for reasons of national security or defense or other essential public business,'' according to a proclamation issued by President Bush.

Reagan's funeral service will take place Friday at the National Cathedral.

His body will be returned to California later that day for burial at the Ronald Reagan Presidential Library.
