          CELEBRATING PURDUE UNIVERSITY LIBRARIES' CENTENNIAL

 Mr. LUGAR. Mr. President, I am pleased today to join my fellow 
Hoosiers in commemorating Purdue University Libraries' centennial as a 
Federal Depository Library. Since 1907, the staff of the Purdue 
University Libraries has worked diligently to provide Hoosiers with 
access to contemporary and historical information about our Nation and 
the workings of our Federal Government.
  I am hopeful that this signal milestone will serve as a reminder to 
all Hoosiers of the remarkable resources available at the Purdue 
University Libraries through the Federal Depository Loan Program. As 
the Federal Depository Loan Program makes these resources available 
free of charge, I would encourage Hoosiers to utilize them as they 
learn and work together.
  I am grateful for the important service of the staff at the Purdue 
University Libraries, and I wish them congratulations on this 
auspicious occasion.
