                      Wednesday, November 20, 2019

  Mr. HILL of Arkansas. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate the Arkansas Democrat-Gazette on its 200th anniversary of 
the first issue of the Arkansas Gazette.
  As the state's leading news source, the Gazette has delivered 
reliable local, national, and international news for Arkansans for two 
centuries. Its first issue appeared on November 20, 1819.
  The Gazette has also recently unveiled a convenient digital format of 
the latest news.
  A new digital subscription to the newspaper provides access to a 
large package of news related to business developments, feature 
stories, and sports, which can be viewed using a phone, tablet, or 
computer.
  This is a generation of advanced technology and it is important to 
produce easy-to-access journalism for newspaper readers.
  I would like to extend my congratulations to President and General 
Manager Lynn Hamilton, and the entire Arkansas Democrat-Gazette team, 
and wish the company much continued success for generations of 
Arkansans to come.

                          ____________________
