           RECOGNIZING THE NORTH LITTLE ROCK VISITORS BUREAU

 Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, today I congratulate the North 
Little Rock Visitors Bureau for being chosen as the Small Convention 
Visitors Bureau of the Year by the Southeast Tourism Society, which 
represents 12 States. The North Little Rock bureau topped the category 
for visitors bureaus with a budget of less than $1 million.
  The Shining Example Award the North Little Rock agency received 
highlights ``some of the best work in travel and tourism,'' and sets 
``examples that others in the industry can follow,'' according to the 
Southeast Tourism Society.
  I salute the North Little Rock Visitors Bureau and the entire North 
Little Rock community for their efforts to build and grow their 
community. As my fellow Arkansans know, our state is a beautiful one, 
filled with countless opportunities for recreation, outdoor pursuits, 
and other leisure activities. I am proud to see North Little Rock 
receive this prestigious recognition.
