                    RECOGNIZING THE ROGERS COMMUNITY

 Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, today I congratulate the 
residents of Rogers for being named in the ``Top 10'' list of U.S. 
small cities, as ranked by Money Magazine.
  The community received this recognition for being one of the Nation's 
best small cities in which to raise a family. The rankings were 
determined through criteria examining education, crime rate, housing 
affordability, jobs, diversity, health care, and arts and leisure.
  I also commend Rogers' community leaders, including Raymond Burns, 
president and chief executive of the Rogers-Lowell Area Chamber of 
Commerce. The tireless efforts by these leaders to build and maintain a 
safe, desirable community helped make this top ranking a reality. They 
represent the best of our state, and I am proud of their 
accomplishments for their community.
  I salute the entire Rogers community for their efforts to maintain 
the heritage, beauty, and history of their community. I join all 
Arkansans to express my pride in this jewel of Arkansas.
