                  MALEA JOHNSON--VOLUNTEER OF THE YEAR

                                 ______


                         HON. JAMES E. CLYBURN

                           of south carolina

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 4, 1994

  Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Malea Johnson, 
a rising junior at Columbia High School, who recently received the 
Volunteer of the Year Award from the city of Columbia, SC.
  Miss Johnson certainly is a worthy recipient of this award, as she 
was moved into action to establish a tutorial program for area 
elementary school students after lamenting the students' low 
standardized test scores.
  Johnson, a cheerleader and member of the student council, found time 
in her busy school schedule to establish a neighborhood tutorial 
program that helped approximately 20 first through eighth graders 
improve their academic performance. She encouraged 10 other students 
and 3 adults to join her in this worthy endeavor.
  Mr. Speaker, Malea Johnson certainly deserves recognition for her 
initiative and she should be held up as an outstanding example of the 
character, drive and volunteer spirit embodied in many of our Nation's 
youths.
