  Ms. JACKSON-LEE. Mr. Speaker, I Congresswoman Jackson-Lee, submit the 
following document concerning the Thomas Jefferson Elementary School.

                   Thomas Jefferson Elementary School

       Whereas, Thomas Jefferson Elementary School has been 
     selected one of three national first place award winners in 
     the 12th Annual ``Set a Good Example Contest'' sponsored by 
     the Concerned Businessmen's Association of America;
       Whereas, Thomas Jefferson Elementary School under the 
     guidance of their teachers and parents has exhibited hard 
     work, dedication and perseverance combating the war on drugs, 
     violence, crime and delinquency;
       Whereas, Thomas Jefferson Elementary School will continue 
     to aid in the war on drugs, delinquency, crime and violence 
     in our schools;
       Whereas, the need for strong young men and women and 
     community activism is becoming more necessary and vital for 
     the future of our Country;
       Now therefore, be it resolved that Thomas Jefferson 
     Elementary School has demonstrated a collective promise to 
     aid in the fight against drug abuse, delinquency, crime and 
     violence invading our nations schools. From this joining of 
     purpose, Thomas Jefferson Elementary School has found 
     effective ways and means to combat these increasing problems 
     and are spreading the message, through the use of the book, 
     ``The Way to Happiness, a Common Sense Moral Guide,'' written 
     by noted author and humanitarian L. Ron Hubbard, to those who 
     have ears to hear. I will never turn from the example set 
     forth by the remarkable work done by Thomas Jefferson 
     Elementary School.
