                        Monday, October 2, 2000

  Mr. KUYKENDALL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and recognize 
several local organizations for their involvement in the fight against 
domestic violence. In recognition of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, 
a coalition of local service agencies has launched Peace by Peace, a 
campaign to increase awareness of this terrible crime.
  Peace by Peace is a cooperative project of: Beach Cities Health 
District, 1736 Family Crisis Center, Little Company of Mary Health 
Services, Redondo Beach Police Department's Domestic Violence Advocacy 
Program, National Network to End Domestic Violence, Jo-Ann etc., and 
the NCADD/South Bay Men's Domestic Violence Treatment Program.
  Domestic violence can no longer be ignored. Programs like Peace by 
Peace bring this issue to the forefront. Through the various workshops 
that will be held this month, South Bay residents will be able to learn 
more about domestic violence. It is because of organizations like the 
Beach Cities Health District and the Little Company of Mary Health 
Services that the women of the South Bay have access to quality health 
services in time of need.
  I commend these agencies in their fight against domestic violence. 
The support that they provide is unparalleled. I appreciate their work 
and the services they provide. They have touched the lives of many 
throughout the South Bay.
