                         Thursday, May 16, 1996

  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, as our relationship with 
Mexico becomes more and more important to the well-being of our Nation. 
I would like to bring to this body's attention the sacrificial effort 
of 26 young men, who at their own expense and under the invitation and 
direction of Gov. Julio Cesar Ruiz Ferro and Senator Pablo Salavar, 
have been serving the community of Nuevo San Miguel Micotic in the 
Chiapas region of Mexico. They have been providing medical aid and 
construction assistance, meeting basic needs, and teaching skills to 
better the community's living conditions and ability to benefit 
neighboring communities. Their work continues to be heralded throughout 
the State of Chiapas among the citizens and leaders of Mexico. 
Furthermore, their experience of cross-cultural service not only 
strengthens global relationships, but better equips them for work in 
their home communities.
