       RECOGNITION OF THE LEADERSHIP TRAINING INSTITUTE FOR YOUTH

 Mr. BOND. Mr. President, I rise to pay tribute to an exemplary 
program in Missouri, the Leadership Training Institute for Youth (LTI). 
Every year at Southwest Baptist University in Bolivar, Missouri this 
leadership camp is held for youth from all over America. This camp 
inspires youth to work toward their goals and to achieve personal 
excellence.
  With the leadership of Dr. Pat Briney, the attendees learn leadership 
skills through Christian values. LTI helps to guide youth through their 
most confusing years and teaches them coping mechanisms for future 
problems.
  LTI represents the kind of spirit, honor and integrity that belong 
with today's youth leaders. I commend LTI staff and participants for 
their energy and faith to Christian values and hope they continue their 
important mission for years to come.
