HON. SAM JOHNSON
of texas
in the house of representatives
Tuesday, May 13, 1997
Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, as this Congress deliberates
the issues facing our Nation and the world today, I would like to bring
to your attention a group of young people and families who are taking
significant steps to strengthen society in our country and around the
globe. In particular, I would like to commend 384 such individuals who
have recently returned from Moscow, Russia, where they have been
involved over the 1995-96 school year in providing character education
for orphans, public school children, college young people, juvenile
delinquents, and families. They have been serving at their own expense
under the authority and official invitation of the Moscow department of
education. Their success continues to be heralded throughout Moscow by
television, newspaper, and word of mouth among the citizens and leaders
of Russia. Furthermore, the credentials and strengthening that this
experience provides for those who have taken part will heighten the
success of their work in their own home communities as they continue to
serve families and young people through positive character training and
practical assistance.
