         SPECIAL THANKS TO THE TASTY BAKING CO. OF PHILADELPHIA

 Mr. SANTORUM. Mr. President, I would like to take a few 
moments of Senate business to give a special word of thanks to the 
Tasty Baking Co. for

its generosity to some very special inner-city children.
  As many of my colleagues may recall, the Philadelphia Flyers recently 
faced the Detroit Red Wings in the Stanley Cup Finals. To make the game 
a bit more interesting, Senator Abraham and I placed a friendly wager 
on the outcome. Unlike most interests in this series, the junior 
Senator from Michigan and I each picked a food donor and an inner-city 
school that would receive a complimentary party. If the Flyers lost, 
the Tasty Bakery agreed to donate 800 Tastykakes--400 to Warren G. 
Harding Elementary School in Detroit and 400 to William Penn High 
School in Philadelphia. If the Red Wings lost, Little Caesars Pizza 
would give a pizza party to both schools. Regardless of the outcome, 
the children stood to win.
  Mr. President, I'm sorry to say that the Flyers did not bring the 
Stanley Cup back home to Pennsylvania. So, on June 16, the students of 
William Penn enjoyed their complimentary Tastykakes and Crazy Bread--
which Little Caesars graciously donated despite the Red Wings' victory. 
Recently, the children of Warren G. Harding Elementary celebrated their 
victory party.
  In closing, I would like to thank Little Caesars and the men and 
women at the Tasty Bakery for making these parties possible. I would 
particularly like to thank Kathleen Grim, Tasty Bakery's manager of 
community affairs, for coordinating this effort. I ask my colleagues to 
join me in extending the Senate's best wishes for continued success to 
the Tasty Bakery in Philadelphia, PA.
