                          Tuesday, May 4, 1999

  Mrs. CAPPS. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay special tribute to our 
letter carriers in Santa Barbara, California. On Saturday May 8, our 
local letter carriers will be participating in the seventh annual 
``Stamp Out Hunger'' food drive, sponsored by the National Association 
of Letter Carriers.
  Our local letter carriers will be joining their fellow letter 
carriers in more than 10,000 cities and towns across the nation in 
collecting non-perishable food items and donations along their postal 
routes for local food banks. The Stamp Out Hunger food drive is 
expected to help feed nearly thirty million needy children and adults 
in our communities.
  On behalf of the people on the Central Coast and across the nation, I 
owuld like to thank our letter carriers for their leadership in this 
very worthy cause.
