     CONGRATULATIONS TO EDITH BARCOMB CELEBRATING HER 88TH BIRTHDAY

  Mr. ASHCROFT. Mr. President, I rise today to encourage my colleagues 
to join me in congratulating Edith Barcomb of Springfield, MO, who will 
celebrate her 88th birthday on November 26. Edith is a truly remarkable 
individual. She has witnessed many of the events that have shaped our 
Nation into the greatest the world has ever known. The longevity of 
Edith's life has meant much more, however, to the many relatives and 
friends whose lives she has touched over the last 88 years.
  Edith's celebration of 88 years of life is a testament to me and all 
Missourians. Her achievements are significant and deserve to be 
recognized. I would like to join Edith's many friends and relatives in 
wishing her health and happiness in the future.
