              ON THE 20TH ANNIVERSARY OF PROJECT CHILDREN

 Mr. MOYNIHAN. Mr. President, this year marks the 20th 
anniversary of Project Children. This program, founded by Denis Mulcahy 
in Greenwood Lake, NY, brings together Protestant and Catholic children 
from Northern Ireland for a summer holiday in the United States.
  The importance of such efforts to foster peace and reconciliation 
among those who live in a land wracked by violence cannot be 
underestimated. The contacts and experiences that Irish and American 
children share when they are brought together are invaluable in 
fostering understanding.
  I applaud those on both sides of the Atlantic who work to better the 
lives of these children--our hope and future. We look forward to the 
day when all of the people of Northern Ireland will see an end to 
bloodshed in their homeland.
