            CLINTON, MA, NAMED OFFICIAL MILLENNIUM TOWN, USA

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JAMES P. McGOVERN

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, August 5, 1998

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to announce the 
designation of the Town of Clinton, MA as the official Millennium Town, 
USA.
  They will be celebrating their 150th anniversary in the year 2000 and 
will truly become a genuine millennium town. Clinton, MA has already 
had the accomplishments of a millennium town by copyrighting several 
historic souvenirs--the world's first Millennium 2000 dollar bill, an 
official Millennium seal--Y2K, the millennium 2000 toasting mug, and 
the official millennium cookie. These products are the work of local 
resident Richard L. Harding.
  I applaud the town of Clinton, MA for all of their hard work and 
accomplishments they have had which has given them the right to earn 
the title of Millennium Town, USA.
