                       Tuesday, November 16, 1999

  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to the 
Congress' attention seven young men and the members of the Joseph 
Rankin family who sacrificed time and effort to serve the people of 
Russia from July 10-August 25, 1999, by remodeling an orphanage in 
Moscow to improve living conditions. In addition to the joy they 
received from investing in the lives of others, this cross-cultural 
experience gave these individuals a greater appreciation for the 
benefits and privileges we enjoy in America. These individuals are to 
be commended for their willingness to put the needs of others before 
their own.

       Daniel Buhler, MI; Michael Hadden, GA; Jesse Long, WA; 
     Timothy Moye, GA; Joseph Rankin, MI; Joyce Rankin, MI; 
     Benjamin Rankin, MI; Daniel Rankin, MI; Joseph Rankin, MI; 
     Justin Tanner, MI; Jefferson Turner, GA; Neil Waters, VA.
