               THE CITY OF CARPINTERIA'S 50TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mrs. CAPPS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to commemorate the 50th anniversary 
of the city of Carpinteria.
  Incorporated on September 28, 1965, the city of Carpinteria is home 
to over 13,000 residents on the central coast of California. It is 
known as one of America's finest small towns, and Carpinteria has also 
been recognized as one of the American cities with the highest quality 
of life.
  The city of Carpinteria is a leader in environmental stewardship, 
working to protect California's precious coastline. In fact, 
Carpinteria City Beach has been recognized as the world's safest beach. 
Their local economy has thrived with its vibrant cultural history, and 
this unique agricultural region is home to California's famed avocado 
festival.
  I am proud to honor the city of Carpinteria on their 50th 
anniversary. It is a key treasure on the central coast.
