  Mr. SMITH of Missouri. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Ken 
Fiebelman for his exemplary work with the Dent County Historical 
Society and service as a member of the Missouri State House of 
Representatives. On Sunday September 27, Mr. Fiebelman will be honored 
with a lifetime achievement award for his time at the Dent County 
Historical Society.
  Mr. Fiebelman served as the Dent County Genealogist and Historian for 
nearly half a century. He also served for six terms as a member of the 
Missouri State House of Representatives where, among his many notable 
accomplishments, he led the effort to designate the fiddle as 
Missouri's state musical instrument. During his time as a state 
representative, Ken succeeded in establishing Highway 19 as a scenic 
highway and securing the construction of Highway 72.
  Ken is the epitome of a community leader and historian and it is my 
pleasure to recognize him for his accomplishments before the United 
States House of Representatives.
