             100TH ANNIVERSARY OF McLAUGHLIN, SOUTH DAKOTA

 Mr. THUNE. Mr. President, today I wish to recognize 
McLaughlin, SD. Founded in 1909, the city of McLaughlin will celebrate 
its 100th anniversary this year.
  Named after MAJ James McLaughlin, the city of McLaughlin is located 
in Corson County. McLaughlin possesses the strong sense of community 
that makes South Dakota a great place to work and live. Throughout its 
rich history, McLaughlin has continued to be a strong reflection of 
South Dakota's greatest values and traditions. The city of McLaughlin 
has much to be proud of and I am confident that McLaughlin's success 
will continue well into the future.
  I would like to offer my congratulations to the citizens of 
McLaughlin on this milestone anniversary and wish them continued 
prosperity in the years to come.
