  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, there is no greater calling than attending to 
the education and nurturing of our children. For the past 22 years 
Leticia P. Johnson has been performing that very vital task. Leticia is 
a graduate of Brooklyn College and received a master's degree in 
supervision and administration.
  Leticia believes that early childhood learning sets the stage for 
positive human development. Leticia has dedicated herself to getting 
society and educators to focus on the total needs of our children.
  Leticia's participation in various organizations reflects her 
commitment to children. She is a member of the National Black Child 
Development Institute, and is the cochair of the Early Childhood Task 
Force. Leticia is also a member of the Bedford-Stuyvesant Community 
Conference Inc. For the past 10 years she has served as the director of 
Young Minds Day Care Center, sponsored by Fort Greene Citizens Council 
Inc. Brooklyn sees the fruits of Leticia's efforts each time a child is 
nurtured and educated in her institution. I am happy to acknowledge her 
selfless efforts.
