Mr. McCAIN. Mr. President, the good work that Mr. Dolan Ellis is doing as the official Arizona balladeer was recently brought to my attention. I would like to thank Mr. Ellis for all his years of service to our great State of Arizona.

Mr. President, I understand that Mr. Ellis has been the Arizona balladeer for the last 25 years under the appointment of 8 Governors; and that last year alone he performed for over 40,000 elementary schoolchildren in 100 Arizona schools teaching them Arizona history, folklore, and environmental awareness. Mr. President, Mr. Ellis' care and concern for Arizona's culture and environment is to be commended.

Mr. President, I would like Mr. Ellis to know how much I appreciate his commitment to Arizona. I am pleased to have brought Mr. Ellis to the attention of the Senate and I wish him every success in the future.
