and i was at some of the events in minnesota. i was astounded by the thousands of school kids that would turn out just to see this tree. with all the cynicism, we can have sometimes in washington, it makes you realize that the people of this country and the children of this country still care that their tree from their state, one tree in the whole country, is going to be standing in front of this capitol building. from the foresters and the conservationist and the loggers who work together every day to maintain the health, beauty and productivity of our forest this tree has come. my grandfather was a miner. when the mine closed down, he was a logger. so i know how hard it can be. but it was all the kids who worked on the ornaments, it was the tribal members' songs and prayers that blessed this tree as it went on its journey. by sharing this not-so-small piece of minnesota here, we're letting everyone know about the natural beauty and cultural richness found in our state. we're letting everyone know why we need them to come to min

the minnesota logger of the year is a really big guy, he cut tree. i wanted to do it myself, but he took over. this tree then traveled 2,000 miles from the the chippewa forest, and i was at some of the events in minnesota. i was astounded by the thousands of school kids that would turn out just to see this tree. and with all the cynicism we can have sometimes in washington, it makes you realize that the people of this country and the children of this country still care that their tree from their state, one tree in the whole country, is going to be standing in front of this capitol building. from the foresters and the conservationists and the loggers who work together every day to maintain the health, beauty and productivity of our forests, this tree has come. my grandpa was an iron ore miner, and when the mine closed down, he was a logger, so i know how hard this life can be. but it wasn't just where this tree started, it was all the kids that worked on the ornaments, it was the leech lake tribal members' songs and prayers that blessed this tree as i

the gentleman from minnesota. mr. nolan: mr. speaker, i too rise in support of h.r. 579, to designate the u.s. courthouse in jackson, mississippi, as the r. jess brown united states courthouse. r. jess brown was a towering figure in the history of the civil rights movement. in the south and especially in the state of mississippi. he was a native son of kansas, born in coffeyville, kansas, raised in oklahoma. he attended law school in texas southern university and practiced law in mississippi, starting in 1953 and continuing through the latter civil rights era. as associate down sill -- counsel for the national association of naacp legal defense and education fund, mr. brown filed the first civil rights suit in mississippi in the 1950's. the suit filed in jefferson -davis county sought the enforcement of the right of black citizens to become registered voters. in 1961 brown represented james meredith in his suit to be allowed to be entered to the university of mississippi. his victory in this case opened the doors of that univers

one minnesota brewer is now getting ready to open a second brewery after fighting hard two years ago to get the law in that state changed. >> there was a small change but it's still a little piece of legislation that made a big difference for us. it's good for the state. it's good for business. why wouldn't we want to do it? >> omar, the founder of a brewery in minnesota, has plans in mind for expanding his business. >> we never thought we would experience this type of success. it's been fantastic. >> the beer is so popular there's a waiting list for new customers. with so much demand omar had to focus on increasing his supply. he decided to open a second location. simple, right? not in this case. because of this decision omar had to become the driving force behind a change in state law. >> minnesota is one of those states where you could not sell someone a glass of beer at a production brewery. >> in other words, he could sell beer in bars restaurants and liquor stores but that was about it. >> when someone comes in for a tour, we give them beer. that's all free. so it's not legal f

terms but she came up through the democratic farmer labor party in minnesota. and that's how she got her political start. she served in the minnesota house of representatives and had a very promising mitt cal career. in 1954, she decides to run for a u.s. house seat and she goes against the wishes of democratic farmer labor leaders who are not happy with the fact that she doesn't want to stay in the state house of representatives. so she has to fund her own political campaign and she does so. she wins election. her husband, andy, at this point, and this was a strained marriage to begin with, he grows jealous of her political success and so coya knutson in the house has a very successful career. get? s on the agriculture committee, it's very promising career. one of the things that she does is because of her background as a teacher, she wants to push for a federal student loan program and she manages after the sputnik crisis to slip in a provision, an amendment to the national defense education act in 1958 that establishes federal student lopes. so, she's -- she

we are especially going to miss him in minnesota. i've heard many, many positive statements about alaska today, but no one can come from a state where they can say they have one of the main streets in anchorage and after them, and that is minnesota street, in anchorage. that is because there are many minnesotans, believe it or not, it wasn't cold enough in minnesota so they moved to alaska. one of those people that moved to alaska was mark's dad. mark's dad actually grew up about 30 miles away from my dad, and it is rough and tumble country the iron range of minnesota. market still has relatives in northern minnesota, and particularly he has an uncle named uncle joe. joe begich who served in the legislature for many years and also is a korean war veteran, and is really the heart and soul of the iron range delegation in the minnesota state legislator. for any of our colleagues who think mark begich is a character, they should meet his awful joke. and i know uncle joe. i hope he's watching today because nothing made him happier than th

similarly in the minnesota state house. in my own district, a fringe area around the suburbs, there was a swing. all the state legislators lost in that area. yet, we elected a democrat to the governors office. that was a curious outcome. but it affirms the independence of minnesota voters. >> did you see this coming? >> i knew from the very beginning of the year after the obama inaugural that we were in for a very difficult year. this is a transition election. it was a transformational time. presidents proposed very challenging options for the congress and the american people. we had a huge debt override. we had massive unemployment. and the troubled assets relief program to manage, to deal with. i knew in january we were not going to get these problems solved by the time of the next election. i had prepared by campaign staff that we would have to work very hard and a lot of outreach and take on these issues. but not shrink from the tough looks. health care, i knew, was going to be the toughest. for me, this is something ve
