           IN HONOR OF THE 150TH BIRTHDAY OF DAYTON, KENTUCKY

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. KEN LUCAS

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 23, 1999

  Mr. LUCAS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition and 
celebration of the 150th birthday of Dayton, Kentucky.
  Dayton is a city that has overcome much adversity in its 150 years, 
including three major floods. Dayton's resilience can be traced to the 
strong work ethic of its people. The people of Dayton, including its 
government, business, and education leaders, have always had a ``roll 
up your sleeves and get to work'' attitude. It's that kind of work 
ethic that helped build America's great cities--big and small.
  Earlier this month, I was honored to take part in Dayton's 
sesquicentennial parade to commemorate Dayton's many accomplishments 
and to celebrate this important milestone. And today, in the U.S. House 
of Representatives, I rise to congratulate the city of Dayton. To the 
people of Dayton on the occasion of your city's sesquicentennial--Happy 
Birthday to you.
