               125TH ANNIVERSARY OF ROSCOE, SOUTH DAKOTA

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I recognize Roscoe, SD. The 
town of Roscoe will commemorate its 125th anniversary of its founding 
with celebrations July 4-6, 2008.
  Located in Edmunds County, Roscoe was founded in 1883 and was named 
after Roscoe Conkling, who served as Senator of New York from 1867 to 
1881. Since its beginning 125 years ago, the community of Roscoe has 
continued to serve as a strong example of South Dakota values and 
traditions.
  I would like to offer my congratulations to the citizens of Roscoe on 
this milestone anniversary and wish them continued prosperity in the 
years to come.
