                        Monday, February 8, 2016

  Mr. GRAVES of Louisiana. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that 
I rise to commemorate the 90th anniversary of the Louisiana Municipal 
Association.
  Since January 28, 1926, the LMA has represented over 305 villages, 
towns, cities, and parishes across the state of Louisiana.
  The three-fold mission of the LMA has been one of education, advocacy 
and service and includes advocacy at the national level.
  At the state level, they work to fight blight, promote the work of 
law enforcement and public safety efforts, and encourage economic 
growth.
  The LMA exemplifies the cooperation necessary to move our state 
forward. I'd like to recognize the accomplishments of the LMA over the 
last 90 years and thank them for their ongoing efforts.

                          ____________________
