                            PROJECT CHILDREN

                                 ______


                        HON. MICHAEL R. McNULTY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 10, 1994

  Mr. McNULTY. Mr. Speaker, I commend founder Denis Mulcahy and the 
supporters of Project Children for their efforts over the last 20 years 
in giving the children of Northern Ireland an opportunity to escape 
from the violence of their homeland for a short period of time.
  The program and its many host families, including Lawrence and Diane 
Riley from my congressional district, have given these children a 
chance to temporarily escape the overwhelming fear that often exists in 
their lives.
  Although the problems in Northern Ireland are deeply rooted, I hope 
that the experiences of these children while visiting the United States 
will contribute to making their future a little brighter.
