       A TRIBUTE TO THE LEADERSHIP TRAINING INSTITUTE OF AMERICA

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. ROY BLUNT

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 16, 1999

  Mr. BLUNT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the Leadership 
Training Institute of America (LTI). LTI is reaching out to the youth 
of this country to inspire them to become the best they can possibly 
be.
  The Leaderhip Training Institute of America is educating our youth in 
principles and values that have made America the proud leader of the 
world. These principles and values are the traditions of our American 
forefathers who believed that respect for life, property and individual 
freedom are foundational to America's greatness. They believed in 
personal responsibility, compassion, and doing good to others. They 
believed in the work ethic that has produced in America the most 
competitive achievements the world has ever known.
  The Leadership Training Institute of America is dedicated to 
inspiring tomorrow's leaders through the example of yesterday's 
leaders. The United States Congress promotes such endeavors and desires 
to encourage all of our youth to be founded in the traditions that have 
proven to make great leaders.
  I salute the efforts of the Leadership Training Institute of America 
to instill in America's youth the values and lessons of self-
government, patriotism, moral character and education. As we have 
learned from the tragedies on our high school campuses this year, our 
youth need this kind of instruction.
  To the staff of the Leadership Training Institute, I say thank you 
and God bless you. May your efforts and influences increase among our 
youth.
