On the recordSeptember 23, 1998
Mr. Speaker, I am very happy to rise in support of House Resolution 144 submitted by my colleague, the gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Bereuter). This resolution would express congressional support for the bicentennial of the Louis and Clark Expedition, which is without a doubt one of the most remarkable and productive expeditions in American history. In fact, not only did this extraordinary expedition find plants and animals which were virtually unknown but also discovered new peoples and resources, all of which prepared the way for the pioneers to move westward and open up the large expanse of territory known as the American West. The spirit that was embodied in the people who were part of this westward movement lives on with us, and all of us in the West and in America, to this very day. This resolution, therefore, offers a fitting and appropriate tribute to the great achievements of the Louis and Clark Expedition.
