                            HON. SAM JOHNSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 8, 1994

  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, as this Congress deliberates 
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 200 such individuals who 
have recently returned from Moscow, Russia, where they have been 
involved over the 1993-94 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 credential 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.
