  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, in the wake of the tornado 
disaster in Bullitt County, KY, I would like to recognize the following 
19 men who gave of their personal money, time, and energy to assist 
with tornado relief. At the invitation of state senator Lindy Casebier, 
and under the direction of the Army Reserve command post, they served 
in and around the cities of Brooks and Zoneton for a period of 2 weeks 
from May 31, 1996, to June 12, 1996. During this time they coordinated 
relief efforts in removal of trees from homes and cleanup of house 
debris, 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 these communities. 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.
