             TRIBUTE TO SARAH DOOLIN OF HILLSBORO, ILLINOIS

  (Mr. SHIMKUS asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. SHIMKUS. I would like to take this opportunity, Mr. Speaker, to 
commend a constituent of mine from the 20th Congressional District of 
Illinois: Sarah Doolin of Hillsboro.
  At the young age of 16, Sarah is already an accomplished leader. As a 
leader of Brownie Troop 535, which is a position almost exclusively 
reserved for adults, she earned the J. C. Penny Golden Rule Award. In 
addition to these exceptional accomplishments, she has also done 
volunteer work at The Escape, and is a member of the 4-H Club.
  With all the negative things in the news these days about young 
people, it is quite refreshing to be reminded there are many Sarahs all 
over our great Nation, demonstrating leadership by volunteering and 
taking the initiative in their communities. Thanks for restoring our 
faith in the future, Sarah.
