                         TRIBUTE TO MOLLY HOULE

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JOHN SHIMKUS

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 7, 2000

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Molly Houle for 
her courage to fight juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Molly is a 6-year-
old girl from Bluford, IL who was diagnosed with the disability last 
June.
  The disability has caused Molly many problems from getting out of bed 
to a lack of concentration at school. Despite the pain, she is drawing 
attention to her disability by being featured in WSIL's 15th annual 
Arthritis Foundation Telethon.
  I wish Molly the best as she draws attention to the problems of 
juvenile rheumatoid arthritis. Living with this disability is not easy, 
but I know her example will be an encouragement to all.
