                        MARINE CADETS OF AMERICA

 Mr. LIEBERMAN. Mr. President, I rise today to honor a national 
organization based in my district in Connecticut and headed by Col. 
George F. Keyes USMC (ret.), its current president. The Marine Cadets 
of America was founded in Connecticut in 1958 and is in its 39th year 
of operation, and although its mission has drastically changed and is 
geared to diverting children from falling prey to drugs and alcohol, it 
also provides children with a wholesome environment by teaching 
leadership skills, CPR, vocational skills, and a regular camping and 
survival program along with physical fitness and water sports. The men 
and women that serve as adult advisors and role models all serve 
without pay as volunteers and donate their professional skills to the 
children of this program. I congratulate and commend these men and 
women for their efforts and wish them every success in the continued 
efforts of this outstanding youth program.
