                                 ______


                            HON. JAN MEYERS

                               of kansas

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 20, 1995
  Mrs. MEYERS of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, September 17-23 is Constitution 
Week commemorating the 208th anniversary of the Constitution of the 
United States. I commend the Daughters of the American Revolution for 
its efforts to remind all Americans of the importance of the U.S. 
Constitution.
  The success with which Americans secured their liberty through 
representative government is unparalleled. Our Republic was built upon 
the foundation of limited government in which a written Constitution 
preserves individual freedoms and opportunity for all citizens. The 
ideals upon which this document is based are reinforced each day by the 
success of the system to which it gave birth. The political system 
established by our Constitution stresses the need for each citizen to 
know their rights, freedoms, and duties.
  Mr. Speaker, I take this opportunity to thank the Prairie Rose 
Chapter of the Kansas Society of the Daughters of the American 
Revolution in my district who have committed a tremendous amount of 
time and effort in helping all Americans better understand the 
Constitution.
