                        Wednesday, May 18, 1994

  Mr. GEKAS. Mr. Speaker, it is indeed a pleasure to recognize the 
centennial of a venerable central Pennsylvania institution, the 
Harrisburg Chapter of the Daughters of the American Revolution.
  Since its creation by a group of patriotic citizens on May 19, 1894, 
the Harrisburg DAR has labored to preserve the rich history of the 
Susquehanna Valley. The organization is well known for charitable and 
educational endeavors, and I applaud its efforts to maintain the spirit 
of the men and women who struggled for American independence.
  I want to congratulate the Harrisburg DAR for its 100 years of public 
service, and extend my best wishes for its future.
