  Mr. ROKITA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and salute Clinton 
County, Indiana as the Indiana Bicentennial Torch is scheduled to pass 
through the county on October 6, 2016.
  The County sits on the eastern part of Indiana's Fourth Congressional 
District. It was established in 1830 and named for DeWitt Clinton, the 
seventh Governor of New York State and architect of the Erie Canal. The 
county seat is located in Frankfort, famous for the Frankfort Hot Dog 
Festival. Clinton County is the birthplace of Lieutenant General James 
F. Record, he was awarded the Distinguished Service Cross three times 
for his gallantry during the Vietnam War.
  In this year of the Hoosier Bicentennial, communities throughout the 
state are celebrating Indiana past and present through Bicentennial 
Legacy Projects. These projects are culturally inclusive, celebratory, 
engaging, and inspiring to youth and young adults and create a legacy 
for the future. The organizations responsible for the Legacy Projects 
throughout the county are: Clinton County Chamber of Commerce and 
Frankfort Main Street. Hoosiers look forward to their enduring 
contribution to our state's legacy.
  And on this day, Mr. Speaker, in the year in which we are celebrating 
Indiana's 200th birthday, I am proud to recognize Clinton County for 
the contribution of its residents to the past, present, and future of 
Indiana's history.
