  CELEBRATING THE 50TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE NATIONAL OUTDOOR LEADERSHIP 
                                 SCHOOL

  (Mrs. LUMMIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. LUMMIS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 50th 
anniversary of the National Outdoor Leadership School.
  NOLS was founded in Wyoming by Paul Petzoldt. NOLS has taught 
thousands of Americans and people worldwide about the responsible use 
of the outdoors and an appreciation for outdoor activities, recreation, 
hiking, that is unsurpassed.
  NOLS is headquartered in Wyoming, in Lander, and we are proud that 
NOLS's mother ship is in our dear State. NOLS is a wonderful 
organization that provides stewardship of our natural resources in a 
way that teaches people how to enjoy and appreciate the outdoors.
  Congratulations, NOLS, the National Outdoor Leadership School, on 50 
years.
