                         WARREN, NEW HAMPSHIRE

 Ms. AYOTTE. Mr. President, today I wish to honor Warren, NH--a 
town in Grafton County that is celebrating the 250th anniversary of its 
founding. I am proud to join citizens across the Granite State in 
recognizing this historic event. This area, drained by the Baker River 
and built in the shadow of Mount Moosilauke, exemplifies the beauty of 
the surrounding White Mountain National Forest.
  Warren was granted a charter by Governor Benning Wentworth in 1763 
and incorporated by Governor John Wentworth in 1770. The town derives 
its name from British Admiral Sir Peter Warren and was first settled by 
Joseph Patch and John Page.
  Since that time, the population has grown to include over 900 
residents. The patriotism and commitment of the people of Warren are 
reflected in part by their service in most of America's major 
conflicts, with over 60 serving in World War II alone.
  Warren's most notable landmark is a Redstone Ballistic Missile, 
dedicated in honor of Warren's favorite son, Senator Norris Cotton. 
Senator Cotton represented New Hampshire in Washington, D.C., for 
almost 30 years, including 8 years as a Congressman and over 20 as a 
Senator. The Federal building in Manchester and the Comprehensive 
Cancer Center at Dartmouth-Hitchcock Hospital, both bear his name.
  Another notable resident of Warren was Ira Morse. Mr. Morse was a 
successful shoe retailer who traveled the world hunting big-game and 
collecting cultural artifacts. In 1928, Ira Morse opened his collection 
to the public and established the Morse Museum.
  Located in the village of Glencliff is the historic Glencliff Home. 
This facility first provided relief and treatment for urban workers 
suffering from breathing impairment. Although its mission has changed, 
the home is still in operation and is currently administered by the New 
Hampshire Department of Health and Human Services.
  Warren is a place that has contributed much to the life and spirit of 
the State of New Hampshire. I am pleased to extend my warm regards to 
the people of Warren as they celebrate the town's 250th 
anniversary.
