  Mr. MICHAUD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the historic 
Claremont Hotel in Southwest Harbor, Maine, for its continued 
commitment to showcasing world-renowned lecturers and talented 
performers each summer. Since 1884, the Claremont has provided a 
getaway for travelers across the world and a gateway to Bar Harbor, 
Mount Desert Island, and Acadia National Park.
  Every summer, the Claremont brings knowledgeable and interesting 
lecturers and talented performers to the Maine Coast to share their 
insights and gifts with native Mainer and tourist alike.
  Please join me in honoring each of the Claremont Hotel's 2012 summer
