                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 15, 1999

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Alina Dunaeva and 
David Johnson, two recent high school graduates who have worked 
diligently to improve their community.
  Alina and David are ending their terms as the leaders of the Tenth 
Congressional District Youth Congress, a group dedicated to making a 
difference for young people in the Cleveland area. This year, they lead 
members in following the group's mission to improve educational 
opportunities, community resources for students, and their environment, 
in part by holding a press conference about local levies and 
participating in a clean-up project on Cleveland's west side.
  In guiding this group through its first full school year, Alina and 
David have helped to build a forum for a diverse group of students to 
share their ideas and create constructive solutions to issues that are 
important to young people.
  My fellow colleagues, please join me in honoring Alina Dunaeva and 
David Johnson for their outstanding commitment to encouraging youth to 
become involved.
