                        Tuesday, January 4, 2005

  Mr. BURGESS. Mr. Speaker, it is my great honor to recognize Denton, 
Texas for being acknowledged as the No. 1 most technology-advanced city 
with a population of 75,000 to 124,999, by the Center for Digital 
Government. The ranking was based on the 2004 Digital Cities Survey 
that examines how city governments are using digital technology to 
become more efficient and communicate with residents.
  The survey and ranking determined by the Center asked more than 600 
mayors, managers and chief information officers to participate asking 
24 questions focusing on implementation, adoption of online service 
delivery, planning and governance, and the network that allows cities 
to make the move to digital government.
  A life-long resident of Denton County, I offer my congratulations to 
the city of Denton and to Mayor Euline Brock.
