                   125 YEARS OF STATEHOOD FOR WYOMING

  (Mrs. LUMMIS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mrs. LUMMIS. Mr. Speaker, today, the great State of Wyoming, the 
Equality State, is celebrating her 125th anniversary of statehood.
  Wyoming is a wondrous place, boasting our Nation's first national 
park, first national forest, and first national monument. Wyoming's 
scenic treasures are second to none in the world.
  Our vast stores of resources--coal, uranium, timber, oil, gas, soda 
ash, and rare earth elements--all provide critical resources for our 
Nation.
  Wyoming's freedom-loving, hard-working people have a deep sense of 
place and seamlessly weave the fabric of stewardship into it, inspiring 
the entire country and, really, the whole world.
  I am proud to call Wyoming America's 44th star, my love, my life, and 
my home. I wish her a blessed 125th year of statehood.
