   COLORADO NATIONAL GUARD SETS THE PACE FOR THE REST OF THE COUNTRY

  (Mrs. SCHROEDER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. SCHROEDER. Mr. Speaker, I come to the well to brag. I come to 
the well to brag as a Coloradan because we are all so proud of the 
Colorado National Guard.
  Mr. Speaker, maybe some of my colleagues have seen what they have 
been doing. They setup a M*A*S*H type operation in down town Denver and 
have been delivering medical services to all sorts of homeless people 
who have not been near any kind of medical service in years. It is a 
very touching and moving operation. But I think for American taxpayers 
it is also wonderful to see this kind of operation going on at home, on 
the home shores for Americans, and I hope that National Guards across 
the country are challenged by this and do the same kind of outreach in 
many of our American cities where these terrible crises have been 
allowed to grow and grow and grow with no one answering back.
  Mr. Speaker, I say to the Colorado National Guard, ``You have really 
set the pace for the rest of the country, and we all thank you.''
