         50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY OF BARBARA AND HAROLD HARRIS

 Mr. WELLSTONE. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize 
Barbara and Harold Harris on the occasion of their 50th wedding 
anniversary.
  Barbara Harris has dedicated herself to educating young people in 
America in the principles of representative government, imparting to 
them the virtues of citizenship and democracy, developing in them the 
values of leadership and civic responsibility.
  She has pursued this dedication throughout her career, first as an 
educator in public schools where her personal interest and commitment 
shaped the lives of thousands of students, and subsequently as a co-
founder of the Congressional Youth Leadership Council and the National 
Youth Leadership Forum, bold initiatives to carry her message of 
achievement and citizenship to tens of thousands of the Nation's best 
and brightest young adults; This Congress and the Nation are indebted 
to her for these efforts and for her contribution to enhancing our two 
centuries old experiment in self-government. Throughout this 
distinguished career, Barbara has benefited from the dedication, 
strength, and devotion of her beloved husband Harold.
  I ask my fellow colleagues to please join me in congratulating 
Barbara and Harold on this most auspicious occasion.
