                          Tuesday, May 5, 1998

  Mr. GREENWOOD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an 
outstanding organization in our country called Students In Free 
Enterprise.
  Students in Free Enterprise (SIFE), is a non-profit organization 
located on over 500 college campuses across the United States. SIFE has 
continually encouraged the free enterprise system through educational 
programs since it's inception more than 20 years ago. Students in the 
organization dedicate their time and resources to helping others. 
SIFE's mission is to provide college students the best opportunity to 
develop leadership, teamwork and communications skills through 
learning, practicing and teaching the principles of free enterprise. 
SIFE is not only involved with the encouragement of free enterprise, 
but has also worked closely with international charitable 
organizations. Students involved in this organization gain valuable 
leadership, communication and business skills by teaching others, 
especially at risk youth.
  The Students In Free Enterprise organization is a valuable asset to 
the citizens of our

country. In honor of their many charitable and civil contributions, I 
join my colleagues in the House of Representatives in recognizing May 
12, 1998 as National Students In Free Enterprise Day.
  I congratulate SIFE as they continue their mission of helping people 
achieve their dreams through free enterprise education.
