                       Tuesday, December 13, 2005

  Mr. GORDON. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize the outstanding 
work of Nancy Phillips and all of the other talented individuals who 
help to create Adventures in Murphry's Burrow, a children's television 
show that airs on Murfreesboro, Tennessee's local cable station.
  Children, parents and all residents of Murfreesboro can benefit from 
the educational content provided on Adventures in Murphry's Burrow. The 
show introduces children, as well as adults, to community leaders and 
government figures. In addition, children take an active part in the 
show by submitting questions to the show's featured guest.
  I commend each and every individual who has worked to make Adventures 
in Murphry's Burrow successful. Nancy creates, writes, and produces the 
show. She is assisted by co-producer Steve Burris and Alan Bozeman, 
director of the Channel 3 cable station. Wayne White designed the 
show's star puppet, Murphry. Linda Gilbert was instrumental in 
involving the Murfreesboro City School System in the program, and 
Marilyn Mathis works to promote the program within the school system 
and community.
  I thank them all for their wonderful service to the community, and I 
wish them continued success as they create new adventures for Murphry 
and the children of Murfreesboro.
