Do STATIC data types (like C++ has) exist in ADA?

By this I mean, is there a way I can define a variable so that
when I call a procedure and set a value (say 5.0) and then
exit the procedure and come back into it at a later time, the
variable would still have the same value (i.e., 5.0)?

I think private is the closest thing I've found that will do it.
