              THE MISSING AND EXPLOITED CHILDREN'S CAUCUS

  (Mr. LAMPSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. LAMPSON. Mr. Speaker, as chairman of the Missing and Exploited 
Children's Caucus, it is my pleasure to announce another reunion of a 
missing child with his family. Fourteen-year-old Vincent Clayton 
wandered away from his Montrose, MI, home in May 1996. Vincent suffers 
from seizures and developed amnesia. He was living in a foster home in 
Toledo, OH.
  Recently Vincent's foster mother received a ``Have You Seen Me'' card 
in the mail and saw a picture of her foster son. She got in touch with 
the authorities and Vincent was reunited with his family back in 
Michigan.
  ``Have You Seen Me'' is a joint effort by the National Center for 
Missing and Exploited Children and ADVO, a direct mail company.
  That is why I have begun printing the pictures and vital statistics 
of missing children on my office envelopes and why I encourage every 
Member of this body to do the same. Pictures work. We must work harder 
to get pictures of missing children in front of as many people as we 
possibly can.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me and join the Missing and 
Exploited Children's Caucus.
