                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, October 14, 2011

  Ms. HOCHUL. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to recognize a 
significant event that is occurring in Western New York next week.
  Our nation's rich culture, history, art, and architecture are 
national treasures and help remind us everyday who we are and where we 
came from.
  This year, the National Trust for Historic Preservation is holding 
its 65th annual National Preservation Conference in Buffalo, NY and 
will feature historic and cultural sites throughout the Buffalo Niagara 
region.
  Hundreds of Western New Yorkers have worked for the past four years 
to plan this conference, researching sites from Medina to Chautauqua 
and everywhere in between, planning events, and creating art 
exhibitions.
  These sites include such regional attractions as the Guaranty 
Building, Darwin D. Martin House Complex, Roycroft Campus, and the Erie 
Canal locks in Lockport, among many others. I am proud to show off 
Western New York's historical icons to the rest of the country.
  This is a wonderful opportunity to showcase our vibrant culture and 
history and I commend all of those who are putting in time and effort 
to make this happen.
