           RECOGNIZING THE SOUTH DAKOTA NEWSPAPER ASSOCIATION

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I recognize the South Dakota 
Newspaper Association as they celebrate their 125th anniversary this 
year.
  Throughout the past 125 years, the SDNA has consistently provided 
outstanding service to the State of South Dakota. We count on our news 
organizations to keep the public informed and to promote a sense of 
community within our State. Currently representing 138 weekly and daily 
newspapers from all over South Dakota, the SDNA allows newspapers to 
more effectively perform their role of keeping citizens up-to-date on 
world events. As they celebrate this milestone anniversary, I am 
confident that the SDNA will continue to thrive and succeed for the 
next 125 years.
  It gives me great pleasure to rise with the South Dakota Newspaper 
Association and to congratulate them on this historic occasion. I wish 
them and all of South Dakota's newspapers continued success in the 
years to come.
