corrected that thanks.

someone said that CNN said 10000 per hour. that makes 300000 for thirty hours possible.

I wonder how many "in state" cards were printed?

From the official schedule:

The remains will then be escorted to the U.S. Capitol and received with ceremony at 7 p.m. EDT on Wednesday, June 9, 2004. Former President Reagan will lie in state with a Guard of Honor. Public viewing and media coverage will be allowed during this time.

On Friday, June 11 at 10:30 a.m., a departure ceremony will take place at the Capitol and move by motorcade to the Washington National Cathedral.

So, let's say the piblic viewing began at 8:30pm on Wed. and will go to 9:30am on Friday - that's 37 hours or 370,000 visitors.
