                        ROGERS HISTORICAL MUSEUM

 Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, today I congratulate the staff of 
the Rogers Historical Museum in my home State of Arkansas for being 
awarded accreditation through the American Association of Museums. The 
Rogers Historical Museum joins an impressive group of 778 institutions 
currently accredited nationwide. This accreditation represents the 
highest recognition of the Rogers Historical Museum's commitment to 
public service, professional standards, and excellence in education.
  Museums like the Rogers Historical Museum play an important role in 
promoting lifelong education, travel and tourism, and quality of life. 
They offer a center of exploration, discovery, and lifelong earnings 
for students and citizens of all ages and all walks of life.

  I commend the Rogers Historical Museum's leaders and the entire 
community for their efforts to maintain the history and heritage of 
their community. Their tireless efforts helped make this accreditation 
a reality. They represent the best of our State, and I am proud of 
their accomplishments. I join all Arkansans to congratulate the Rogers 
Historical Museum for this distinguished recognition.
