                        A CAMPAIGN FOR KINDNESS

  (Mr. TUCKER asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TUCKER. Mr. Speaker, last week I introduced a House resolution 
that calls for a campaign for kindness, for acts of kindness. The is a 
gentleman away from Washington, Prof. Chuck Wall, who started this 
idea. And as we stop and we think about the problems that go on in our 
communities, we will hear debate in the next few weeks how we can 
address all the acts of violence, we come to a time, Mr. Speaker, where 
we have been somewhat desensitized to all the violence that occurs.
  Mr. Speaker, I am asking the Members to call my office or call my AA 
and join in on this resolution, which may be symbolic at this point but 
will one day lead to a point where we can have a whole week 
memorializing acts of kindness. I think it will begin to get this 
country on the move to start being kind to one another once again.
