                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 25, 1996

  Mr. FOX of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to have in 
Pennsylvania's 13th district an extraordinary young lady who has earned 
the honor of Better Hearing and Speech Month Child of the Year. Sarah 
Churchill, who is 6 years old, a gymnast, swimmer, and artist, is 
serving to increase awareness of resources available to hearing and 
speech impaired children.
  When this American hero was just a year old, Miss Churchill was 
diagnosed with profound hearing loss. Soon after, she enrolled at the 
Helen Beebe Speech and Hearing Center in Easton, PA.
  Miss Churchill was chosen this year by the Council for the Better 
Hearing and Speech Month to represent the needs of children with 
hearing and speech impairments. She has had the opportunity to meet 
other children's advocates, including Heather Whitestone, and has 
visited with the President and First Lady to fight for education 
reforms and public awareness.
  I'm sure you will join me, Mr. Speaker, in sending best wishes to 
Miss Churchill in her efforts to improve the lives of children across 
our country.
