                        ARKANSAS HISTORIC SITES

 Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, today I recognize two Arkansas 
historic sites that have been added to the National Register of 
Historic Places. These Arkansas landmarks help define our State's 
history and heritage, and I am proud to see them included on the 
National Register.
  The newly listed properties are:


                         West Memphis City Hall

       West Memphis City Hall at 100 Court Street in West Memphis 
     in Crittenden County was constructed in 1938 through the 
     Public Works Administration program and opened July 18, 1939.


         Antioch Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery in Sherrill

       Antioch Missionary Baptist Church Cemetery in Sherrill in 
     Jefferson County, a Black cemetery behind the church, 
     predates the existing church and is the oldest structure on-
     site. The earliest documented burial in the cemetery, the 
     grave of the Rev. Louis Mazique, was in 1885.

  Along with all Arkansans, I congratulate these communities for 
receiving this national recognition. I also salute the local officials 
and residents of our State for their efforts to maintain the beauty and 
history of their communities.
