                   FEDERAL DEPOSITORY LIBRARY PROGRAM

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ROBERT J. WITTMAN

                              of virginia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, April 20, 2016

  Mr. WITTMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
University of Mary Washington celebrating their 75th anniversary as a 
Federal Depository Library on Thursday, March 10. The public has a 
right to information contained in Government documents, which have been 
published at public expense and the Government has an obligation to 
ensure the availability of, and access to, these documents at no cost. 
Federal Depository Libraries serve that goal by providing free, ready, 
and permanent public access to Federal Government information for 
present and future generations. UMW has shown true service to the 
community by highlighting the diversity and excellence of government 
information. I am thrilled to have the UMW Federal Depository Library 
Program as a part of the First District and want to again congratulate 
them on this amazing achievement.
