             HOOSIER VETERANS VISITING OUR NATION'S CAPITAL

  Mr. LUGAR. Mr. President, I rise today to share with my colleagues 
the names of many of the Hoosiers who made the journey from the State 
of Indiana to Washington, DC, to take part in the festivities this past 
weekend surrounding the dedication of the new World War II Memorial and 
in remembrance of Memorial Day.
  My staff and I were pleased to have the opportunity to meet with 
these honorable veterans and their families and to listen to their 
vastly different experiences throughout World War II and henceforth. In 
addition, a few of these veterans were able to participate in 
interviews that will be submitted to the Library of Congress as part of 
the Veterans History Project.
  Mr. President, I ask unanimous consent that the following names of my 
constituents who visited my office on Friday, May 28, 2004, be printed 
in the Record.
