                   RECOGNIZING LETCHER, SOUTH DAKOTA

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I recognize Letcher, SD. The 
town of Letcher will celebrate the 125th anniversary of its founding 
this year.
  Located in Sanborn County, Letcher was named after O.T. Letcher, who 
was Assistant Secretary of Dakota Territory at the time. Since its 
beginning in 1883, Letcher has been a strong reflection of South 
Dakota's values and traditions. As they celebrate this milestone 
anniversary, I am confident that Letcher will continue to thrive and 
succeed for the next 125 years.
  I would like to offer my congratulations to the citizens of Letcher 
on this milestone anniversary and wish them continued prosperity in the 
years to come.
