                         Tuesday, May 13, 1997

  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, as this Congress deliberates 
the issues facing our Nation and the world today, I would like to bring 
to your attention a group of young people and families who are taking 
significant steps to strengthen society in our country and around the 
globe. In particular, I would like to commend 384 such individuals who 
have recently returned from Moscow, Russia, where they have been 
involved over the 1995-96 school year in providing character education 
for orphans, public school children, college young people, juvenile 
delinquents, and families. They have been serving at their own expense 
under the authority and official invitation of the Moscow department of 
education. Their success continues to be heralded throughout Moscow by 
television, newspaper, and word of mouth among the citizens and leaders 
of Russia. Furthermore, the credentials and strengthening that this 
experience provides for those who have taken part will heighten the 
success of their work in their own home communities as they continue to 
serve families and young people through positive character training and 
practical assistance.
