                         Tuesday, May 13, 1997

  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, in the wake of the flooding 
along the Ohio River in Ohio, I would like to recognize the following 
27 men who gave of their personal money, time, and energy to assist 
with flood relief. At the invitation of Senator Doug White and under 
the direction of disaster relief coordinator Rodney Yates, they served 
in and around the town of Manchester, OH, from March 7-14, 1997. During 
this time they assisted the local emergency relief agencies in the 
salvage and cleanup in the aftermath of the flooding, while spreading 
goodwill, faith, hope, and charity wherever they went. Their sacrifice, 
diligence, and thoroughness conveyed a true sense of brotherly love to 
the citizens of Adams County. The experiences these men received while 
serving will enrich their lives permanently, causing them to become 
better citizens, and thus have a greater impact on the world around 
them.
