                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. TOM McCLINTOCK

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 29, 2009

  Mr. McCLINTOCK. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor The Sierra 
Booster, published in Sierra County, California. The newspaper was 
first published in October 1949 by Hal Wright and his wife Allene. For 
over 50 years, Mr. Wright served his community through the continued 
publication of the Sierra Booster. Following her father's passing in 
July of 2000, Hal's daughter, Jan, took over the newspaper. For the 
past decade, Jan has continued her family's legacy as well as The 
Sierra Booster's commitment to serve the eastern Sierras.
   Madam Speaker, The Sierra Booster exemplifies the ideal of a free 
press, one of this nation's greatest freedoms. Today, I ask my 
colleagues to join me in recognizing the Sierra Booster for its 60 
years of continued service and wishing the newspaper continued success 
in the future.
