                        TRIBUTE TO SANDI SANDERS

 Mrs. LINCOLN. Madam President, today I recognize Sandi Sanders 
of Fort Smith, AR, for her leadership on the U.S. Marshals Service 
National Museum to be located in Fort Smith. Because of her efforts, 
Sandi will be honored during a ``Salute to Sandi'' event hosted by the 
museum later this month.
  In January 2007, Fort Smith was given a highly sought after 
opportunity: designation as the site for a national museum, the U.S. 
Marshals Museum. As the oldest Federal law enforcement agency in the 
Nation, the U.S. Marshals Service reflects the history of the United 
States. Throughout their 219-year history, U.S. marshals and deputy 
marshals have been involved in many of the Nation's most historic 
events. Within the history of the Service are powerful stories that 
touch and inspire all people.
  Sandi's involvement with the museum dates back to 2007, when she was 
named director. She has worked tirelessly to create a museum that will 
educate all visitors about the history, values, and dedicated 
individuals of the U.S. Marshals Service. Although she no longer serves 
as director, Sandi has remained an integral part of the Nation's U.S. 
Marshals Museum.
  Madam President, I salute Sandi and all of the residents of Fort 
Smith for their dedication and commitment to this project. The entire 
community of Fort Smith should be proud of its efforts to bring the 
U.S. Marshals Museum home where it belongs.
