                  THE CENTENNIAL OF ELIDA, NEW MEXICO

 Mr. DOMENICI. Mr. President, I would like to take a moment to 
mark the centennial of Elida, NM.
  In July 1907, the town of Elida was officially incorporated, and for 
the last 100 years this small New Mexico town has remained a close-knit 
ranching community. Although much has changed in Elida during the last 
100 years, many things have not. Elida is still the kind of town where 
neighbors take the time to help one another and come together for a 
Fourth of July barbeque every year. I believe that kind of community is 
something special and those individuals who call Elida home should be 
proud.
  As the residents of Elida and the surrounding area gather this 
weekend to celebrate the history of their town, I would like to wish 
them well and I hope Elida has another wonderful 100 years.
