  Mr. GUINTA. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I 
congratulate Mount Washington Cruises on reaching your 140th 
Anniversary.
  New Hampshire is proud to be home to some of the most beautiful 
sights in the Northeast. The White Mountains and Lakes Region have 
attracted tourists from all over the world, and the beauty and grandeur 
of Lake Winnipesaukee has been shared with thousands of visitors thanks 
to the M/S Mount Washington.

  The M/S Mount Washington is truly one of New Hampshire's greatest 
treasures and continues to be one of the state's leading tourist 
attractions in the Lakes Region and for Weirs Beach. The daily in 
season tours give visitors the chance to view firsthand the beauty and 
majesty of Lake Winnipesaukee. With the ability to hold 1250 
passengers, the ``Mount'' has also been a popular venue for parties, 
weddings and various celebrations. Today Mount Washington Cruises is 
owned and operated by local individuals ensuring that this fine vessel 
and her operations maintain in New Hampshire and are run by New 
Hampshire's great citizens.
  I congratulate the owners, officers and crew of the Mount Washington 
Cruises for their continued success and their dedication to maintain 
the great legacy of the M/S Mount Washington here in the Granite State. 
I wish you all the best for continued success in the future.
