 HONORING ST. LOUIS CITY HALL EMPLOYEES FOR THEIR EFFORTS ON BEHALF OF 
               VICTIMS' FAMILIES OF OKLAHOMA CITY TRAGEDY

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Under a previous order of the House, the 
gentleman from Missouri [Mr. Gephardt] is recognized for 5 minutes.
  Mr. GEPHARDT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor St. Louis City Hall 
employees for their efforts on behalf of the victims and families of 
the Oklahoma City tragedy. The Recorder of Deeds, Sharon Quigley 
Carpenter, and her staff organized a fund-raiser in conjunction with 
other departments in City Hall and raised a total of $3,415.50. In 
addition, city hall employees sent a sympathy card to Oklahoma City 
signed by hundreds of people who either worked or came into City Hall 
on business.
  The initiative taken by the employees at St. Louis City Hall 
demonstrates their caring spirit. It is a model of action stimulated by 
compassion and empathy. I want to salute these employees for their 
selfless and generous contributions to the victims of Oklahoma City.
