                     RECOGNITION OF MINGO JOB CORPS

 Mr. BOND. Mr. President, it is a pleasure to recognize the 
Mingo Job Corps Civilian Conservation Center of Puxico, MO, for service 
to its community. Established in 1965 as a vocational training center 
for disadvantaged youth, it is one of 30 centers designated by Congress 
to be a civilian conservation center.
  Located on the Mingo National Wildlife Refuge, Mingo Job Corps 
provides a full-time year round residential program which gives 
students the opportunity to complete their secondary education and 
acquire a vocational skill.
  The Mingo Job Corps Center has completed millions of dollars worth of 
community service projects, such as construction and painting for local 
schools and museums, and supporting Earth Day and Ecology Day projects. 
I wish Mingo the best of luck in all future endeavors and continued 
success in its service to others.
