              RECOGNIZING THE FORT SMITH HOUSING AUTHORITY

 Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, today I congratulate the Fort 
Smith Housing Authority for winning the Agency of the Year Award from 
the Arkansas Chapter of the National Association of Housing and 
Rehabilitation Officials.

  According to the Awards Committee, the Fort Smith Authority stood out 
in its achievements through its Neighborhood Stabilization Program and 
its recently gained status as a redevelopment agency, a status that 
will enable it to do even more good work in the future.
  The Fort Smith Housing Authority does tremendous work in its local 
Arkansas community, serving people with disabilities, seniors, and low 
income families by providing quality, affordable housing that creates 
positive living environments. I commend the Authority's long-standing 
efforts to increase the availability of safe, affordable housing and to 
improve quality of life and economic vitality.
  I salute the Authority and the entire Fort Smith community for 
achieving this prestigious recognition.
