                 CONGRATULATIONS TO THE BOULDER WEEKLY

  (Mr. POLIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. POLIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate the Boulder 
Weekly--an alternative newspaper based in my hometown of Boulder, 
Colorado--on 20 years of publication, a challenging feat for any 
newspaper, even more so for a newspaper that's freely available to 
readers both in Boulder County, where print editions are freely 
distributed, as well as nationally over the Internet.
  They've had a number of in-depth, incisive reports that have 
uncovered human rights abuses within our own prison system in Colorado. 
They've given detailed coverage on the impact of organic farming 
practices and GMOs and fracking.
  It's very difficult these days to find a trusted investigative news 
source. The Boulder County community is very fortunate to have one in 
the Boulder Weekly, and I rise to congratulate them on their 20th 
anniversary.
