        CONGRATULATING THE ARKANSAS EDUCATION TELEVISION NETWORK

  (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 congratulate the Arkansas 
Educational Television Network.
  This important resource for Arkansans was recently recognized for its 
commitment to education by the Corporation For Public Broadcasting, 
awarding AETN with a My Source Community Impact Award for Education for 
its Spring Break Family Day that was designed to encourage children to 
learn and be physically active through PBS characters, educational 
games, crafts, and contests.
  I am proud to support this fine organization and its mission. AETN 
offers lifelong learning opportunities to our community and provides 
programming and services that enrich the lives of Arkansans. For its 
innovative efforts and committed response to the diverse educational 
needs of our community, it is clear AETN is deserving of this honor.
  With the help of organizations like this, our community is building a 
brighter future for our children. I am glad to see that this station, 
which plays such an important role in our State, has been recognized on 
the national level. I commend the employees for their good work and 
wish them continued success for the 2009 Spring Break Family Day.
