                 McKENZIE, TENNESSEE, 150TH ANNIVERSARY

  (Mr. KUSTOFF of Tennessee asked and was given permission to address 
the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KUSTOFF of Tennessee. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
town of McKenzie, Tennessee, which is located in Carroll County. 
McKenzie's yearlong celebration commemorating 150 years since their 
proclamation begins this week.
  The town of McKenzie has persevered through epidemics, wars, and two 
great fires. In 150 years, McKenzie has grown from a population of 500 
people to over 5,000 people, and over 10,000 residents outside the city 
limits. The town was visited by President Grover Cleveland and is home 
to the Tennessee College of Applied Technology at McKenzie and the 
fastest growing private university in Tennessee, Bethel University, 
which is led by my good friend, President Walter Butler.
  I congratulate the town of McKenzie, its Mayor Jill Holland, Carroll 
County Mayor Joseph Butler, and its residents on a remarkable 150-year 
history. McKenzie has shown great resilience, and I wish it nothing but 
the best on its next 150.
