  Mrs. MEEK of Florida. Mr. Speaker, from April 27 to May 3, 1996, the 
city of North Miami, under the leadership of Councilwoman Jeanette 
Carr, will observe its sixth annual Clean City Week. Clean City Week 
offers the opportunity for community organizations to join forces to 
clean neighborhood eyesores while reinforcing community pride. Groups 
participating include the police department and its Explorers unit, 
area Boy Scouts, school leaders, and several charitable organizations.
  This year's planned projects include collecting trash along a bayside 
shoreline, painting the houses of elderly residents, cleaning alleys, 
and painting over graffiti.
  Clean City Week is an example of neighbors working together toward a 
positive end. All participants are to be commended for their efforts. I 
am proud that so many in my district care so deeply about their 
environment. My thanks to everyone working to make North Miami sparkle 
and shine.
