                        IN HONOR OF J.E. DUNLAP

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. ASA HUTCHINSON

                              of arkansas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 20, 2000

  Mr. HUTCHINSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate J.E. 
Dunlap, publisher of the Harrison Daily Times of Harrison, Arkansas, 
who has recently been honored with the Ernie Deane Award.
  For 57 years, J.E. has been a fixture in the Harrison community, 
first as a writer, then as publisher and owner of the Harrison Daily 
Times. He built a small paper into one that is now a voice for the 
entire region. Even after selling the newspaper, his regular column 
appears in print four times weekly.
  Ernie Deane, for whom the award was named, was a longtime columnist 
for the Arkansas Gazette, as well as a journalism teacher at the 
University of Arkansas. Like Deane, J.E. Dunlap has devoted his life to 
the people and communities of Arkansas.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the state of Arkansas, I would like to 
congratulate J.E. on this honor. He has represented his profession and 
the state of Arkansas well, and I look forward to the day when aspiring 
journalists vie for the ``J.E. Dunlap Award'' in journalism.

                          ____________________
