    COMMEMORATING THE 225TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE U.S. MARSHALS SERVICE

  (Mr. WOMACK asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. WOMACK. Mr. Speaker, since the U.S. Marshals Service was founded 
on September 24 of 1789, U.S. marshals have served this country with 
dedication and distinction, upholding its creed of ``Justice, 
Integrity, Service.'' I rise today to commemorate the service's 225th 
anniversary.
  The U.S. Marshals Service will celebrate its birthday next week in my 
district by breaking ground on the U.S. Marshals Museum in Fort Smith, 
Arkansas. The museum will be funded in part by the sale of coins 
commemorating the 225th anniversary of the Marshals Service.
  The museum's 20,000 square feet will highlight pivotal moments in our 
oldest Federal law enforcement agency's history and pay proper tribute 
to the heroism the marshals have shown over the past 225 years.
  I speak for all of my constituents in the Third District of Arkansas 
and my fellow Arkansans when I say we are humbled to have the U.S. 
Marshals Museum make Fort Smith its home and honored to play a 
prominent role in the next 225 years of the U.S. marshals history.
  Happy birthday, U.S. marshals.
