                    HONORING THE LIFE OF J.E. DUNLAP

  (Mr. BOOZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life the J.E. 
Dunlap who passed away yesterday morning. J.E. was an icon in the 
community of Harrison, Arkansas. As a young ambitious teenager, he was 
hired as a stringer for the statewide newspaper. After seeing action in 
World War II, J.E. returned to Harrison where he spent 50 years running 
the city's daily newspaper. J.E. was an accomplished newsman who won 
numerous accolades during his career, including two nominations for the 
Pulitzer Prize. A man of character and integrity, J.E. was always a 
fair newsman, but also one who was not afraid to tell you what was 
really on his mind. His energy level, enthusiasm and commitment to his 
community remained with him throughout his life. After retiring from 
the day-to-day management of the paper, J.E. continued to write three 
columns a week. That dedication earned him Arkansas' Older Worker of 
the Year Award in 2002.
  Mr. Speaker, the people of Harrison will greatly miss J.E. His work 
ethic and devotion to community truly is representative of the Greatest 
Generation. The weekday coffee klatch at Coffee and More won't be the 
same without him.
