                       Thursday, November 6, 2003

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, knowing that November is native American 
Indian Month I rise today to recognize my constituent, Princess Frances 
Hopper, of Fairfield, Illinois, for her continuous work in fighting for 
the rights and recognition of Native American Indians.
  Recently, due to Ms. Hopper's advocacy, Governor Rod Blagojevich 
proclaimed September 26, 2003 as Indian Day in Illinois. I want to 
congratulate and thank Ms. Hopper for all she has done and will 
continue to do for the people in her community.
