  Mr. RYAN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the 
Janesville Performing Arts Center on its grand opening and spotlight 
this exciting new addition to Janesville, Wisconsin.
  Today the Janesville Performing Arts Center opens its doors--and 
opens a new chapter of the life of historic Janesville High School on 
Main Street. The center will give our area's performers a wonderful new 
stage for their creative energies and serve as a resource for people of 
all ages throughout our community. Besides providing a terrific venue 
for local arts groups to showcase their talent and skill, the 
Janesville Performing Arts Center will bring new opportunities for 
entertainment to everyone in our region.
  The grand opening of Janesville's first community performing arts 
center is a cause for celebration throughout our area and especially 
for those who have worked so hard to make this center a reality.
