  Mr. PENCE. Madam Speaker, I rise to recognize and celebrate the city 
of Edinburgh on the occasion of its grand Bicentennial.
  Edinburgh was the first settlement in Johnson County and was 
established March 3 1822. Edinburgh's history runs rich and deep, even 
boasting Johnson County's oldest and first store. Standing alongside 
this historical store is the Edinburgh Post Office which has been in 
operation since 1823.
  Edinburgh represents the true spirit of America with businesses, 
communities, and our very own Camp Atterbury. Business thrives here 
where there were once railroads and mills, and where the hardwood 
veneer industry still stands. Another famous business finds its home 
here, founded in 1989, Not Just Popcorn, which has been recognized not 
only nationally, but globally.
  I would like to honor this great city. From its storied history to 
its present day standing here in Indiana, may Edinburgh be celebrated 
on this Bicentennial year.
