                     TRIBUTE TO KHI SERVICES, INC.

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. CONSTANCE A. MORELLA

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 27, 1996

  Mrs. MORELLA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to KHI Services, 
Inc., based in Rockville, MD, on the occasion of the corporation's 25th 
anniversary. Over the past quarter century, KHI Services, a community-
based, residential, therapeutic treatment program has allowed over 
1,600 people to confront their problems and set realistic goals to 
improve their lives.
  In 1971, concerned private citizens with financial assistance from 
Montgomery, and the State government, and the Federal Law Enforcement 
Assistance Administration, created KHI Services as a nonprofit 
corporation to facilitate the work of the Karma Academies. Since its 
establishment, KHI Services has developed a number of programs, 
including Karma Academies for Boys and Girls, the Howard Academy, the 
Thomas O'Farrell Youth Center, and a counseling and community services 
program.
  KHI Services has never deviated from the concept of family 
involvement to provide on-going emotional support to adolescents in 
times of crisis. A primary goal of the corporation is to maintain the 
family's active involvement while the child is in residence, wherever 
possible, to promote the necessary changes in family functioning 
crucial to that child's successful return home.
  I am proud to pay tribute to KHI Services, Inc., and I am honored to 
add my voice to the praises of the many friends and family who gather 
to salute this fine corporation.
