                         TRIBUTE TO LINDA TYLER

 Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, today I congratulate State 
Representative Linda Tyler of Conway, who was recently elected by her 
peers as the majority leader for the Arkansas State House of 
Representatives. She is the first female elected to the position, and I 
commend her for this significant achievement.
  Along with my staff, I have worked with Representative Tyler on 
behalf of our constituents, and she has always done an excellent job 
representing the needs of those in her district. As a small business 
owner, she knows the economic challenges that face so many Arkansas 
families, and she works tirelessly to help them access the resources 
and help they need.
  Along with all Arkansans, I thank Linda and the entire Arkansas 
Legislature for their leadership and their dedication to keeping our 
State strong. I also recognize the other representatives who were 
recently elected to leadership positions:

       David ``Bubba'' Powers, D-District 3, Majority Whip; 
     Charolette Wagner, D-District 17, Secretary; Barbara Nix, D-
     District 28, Treasurer; Butch Wilkins, D-District 74, 1st 
     District Whip; Fred Allen, D-District 33, 2nd District Whip; 
     Greg Leding, D-District 92, 3rd District Whip; and Johnnie 
     Roebuck, D-District 20, 4th District Whip.
