                          Friday, May 22, 1998

  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize June 1, 1998, as 
Stand for Children Day. On this day, Americans of all backgrounds will 
come together in their communities to take a Stand for Children, and to 
renew their community's commitment to improving the quality of our 
children's lives.
  On Stand for Children Day, families, citizens, members of religious 
congregations, schools, community based organizations, businesses, and 
political and cultural groups will join together as a national 
community to recognize and address our children's unmet needs.
  Caring for our children must be our families', communities', and 
nation's first priority. This commitment must begin at the local level, 
and be carried to Washington by the Members of this body.
  My fellow colleagues, please join me in recognizing June 1, 1998, as 
Stand for Children Day.
