                         Thursday, May 11, 2000

  Mr. BARR of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, on Saturday May 20, 2000, the 
Wilbert Family Chiropractic office will be the official Chiropractic 
office representing the 6th annual ``Kids Day America/International'' 
event in Austell, Georgia. This event will focus on health, safety and 
environmental issues which affect children, their families and the 
communities in which they live. This will be done with the help and 
support of the Austell Police Department, whose D.A.R.E. program will 
directly benefit from the event. The Austell Police Department will be 
on hand to fingerprint ID children, and the Wilbert Family Chiropractic 
will donate photos of the children. This information will be used to 
produce ID cards for the children. ``McGruff'' the Crime Dog will make 
an appearance and be joined by Leo the Lion of the D.A.R.E. program. 
The Austell Fire Department will be participating also, with their Fire 
Safety House, which helps teach children and their parents about fire 
safety.
  I want to congratulate and commend Dr. Marci Wilbert and the Wilbert 
Family Chiropractic for sponsoring ``Kids Day America/International.'' 
This program is a positive, grass-roots, community based effort which 
will help to strengthen our community, and have a positive impact on 
children and their families.
