                         HISTORY OF DALLAS, GA

  (Mr. BARR of Georgia asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. BARR of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, yesterday I had the honor of 
appearing in Dallas, GA at a ceremony marking the 145th anniversary of 
this beautiful and wonderful community located in the heart of the 7th 
District of Georgia. Dallas, GA is named after a distinguished 
American, George Mifflin Dallas, a former U.S. Senator and Vice 
President of the United States under President Polk.
  Dallas, GA has a quality of life, Mr. Speaker, that is an envy of 
communities all across America and around the world. This is especially 
true under the leadership of our current mayor, Mr. Boyd Austin, just 
recently and very appropriately named citizen of the year by the 
Paulding County Chamber of Commerce.
  I rise today to honor this great American community whose greatest 
days lie yet ahead, Dallas, GA.
