           RECOGNIZING THE 40TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE CHRONICLE

  (Ms. STEFANIK asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. STEFANIK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the 40th anniversary 
of the founding of The Chronicle, a weekly newspaper in my district.
  The Chronicle was established by Mark Frost in 1980 in Glens Falls, 
New York. Through hard work and determination, Mark turned an initial 
investment of $1,700 into a successful newspaper and small business. He 
remains the publisher and editor today, alongside their team who have 
been with The Chronicle for decades.
  In that time, The Chronicle has established a loyal base of readers 
and advertisers, becoming truly a cornerstone of the community.
  The Chronicle has also hosted events to provide a forum for 
discussion and to bring Glens Falls residents together, especially 
through The Chronicle Book Fair. The fair is an opportunity to 
highlight and connect local authors and publishers and discover books 
of all genres.
  Annual events like this are important to strengthen and grow the 
fabric of our communities, and I know many who are looking forward to 
safely resuming them as soon as possible.
  On behalf of New York's 21st District and the United States Congress, 
I would like to thank Mark Frost, his family, and the entire Chronicle 
team for their contributions to the community and congratulate them on 
reaching this important 40-year milestone.
