            THE CENTENNIAL CELEBRATION OF COWETA, OKLAHOMA.

 Mr. NICKLES. Mr. President, I am pleased to inform my 
colleagues in the Senate today that the city of Coweta, in my home 
State of Oklahoma, is celebrating the centennial of its founding.
  Coweta has a rich and proud history. From its beginning as a Native 
American settlement town to being one of the fastest growing cities in 
one of the fastest growing counties in Oklahoma, Coweta is truly a 
great place to live, work, and raise a family. It is a place where 
values like faith, family, and community are lived daily by its 
residents. The spirit and character of Oklahoma are alive and well in 
Coweta.
  It is my honor and privilege of help recognize and celebrate this 
occasion. Generations of residents have made Coweta a renewable place 
during its first 100 hundred years. Current and future generations will 
continue to make Coweta a special place for many years to come.
  Congratulations to Coweta for celebrating this centennial.
