                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, July 8, 2008

  Mr. SKELTON. Madam Speaker, let me take this opportunity to 
congratulate the historic preservation group of Arrow Rock, Missouri. 
In April 2008, Arrow Rock was designated as a Preserve America 
Community.
  Arrow Rock is one of 600 nationwide sites that have earned the 
designation of being a Preserve America Community. This Federal 
designation helps in the historic preservation work for communities 
throughout the United States. Preserve America is focused on providing 
financial support systems for the non-physical work done in historic 
preservation communities. The Arrow Rock community will now be able to 
apply for Federal grants, awards, and other help in research, planning, 
and training efforts to help in the preservation of their village. 
First Lady Laura Bush said, in a written statement, ``Preserve America 
Communities demonstrate that they are committed to preserving America's 
heritage while ensuring a future filled with opportunities for learning 
and enjoyment.''
  I am certain that the Members of the House will join me in 
congratulating the historic preservation group of Arrow Rock for their 
accomplishments and in wishing them luck in all there future endeavors.
