                        HON. CHARLES W. STENHOLM

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, November 5, 1999

  Mr. STENHOLM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an outstanding 
educational institution in the 17th District of Texas. Angelo State 
University in San Angelo, Texas, provides top rate education to 
students from across Texas, the United States and the world. The 
University will be completing construction of its Rao Alumni and 
Visitors Center in 2001.
  Last Friday, during homecoming festivities, a time capsule was 
dedicated and buried by the Alumni Association. This time capsule 
serves as a symbol of the University's commitment to the future. 
Included in the capsule was a flag flown over the Capitol as our 
dedication to future generations.
  The capsule will be opened during the homecoming celebration in 2025.
  I would like to submit for the Record a copy of a resolution that I 
offered the University on this very special occasion.
  It is my hope that this nation and my home state of Texas will 
continue to honor universities like Angelo State University that have

students.
