                     TRIBUTE TO LOUISE ABERCROMBIE

 Mr. INHOFE. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize Louise 
Abercrombie, a woman who has worked diligently serving the people of 
Oklahoma through her journalism career for 50 years.
  Louise began her career with the Ponca City News, gathering city 
briefs, walking almost 30 blocks a day. This hard work eventually led 
her to cover obituaries and religion and then the chamber of commerce 
beat and politics.
  Louise covered all aspects of community news in her career, becoming 
widely known for her accurate reporting and keen research skills. She 
has interviewed six Oklahoma Governors, covered five Presidents, many 
international leaders, and several Members of Congress. I personally 
had the privilege of working with her when she covered a countless 
number of my fly-ins over the years.
  I want to thank Louise Abercrombie on her years of service and wish 
her well in her retirement. Well done, Louise.
