                         ADDITIONAL STATEMENTS

                                 ______
                                 

                     IN MEMORY OF TODD PORTERFIELD

 Mr. HOLLINGS. Mr. President, It has come to my attention that 
a young man, Todd Porterfield, was struck by a car and killed over the 
summer while he was participating in a philanthropy event for Pi Kappa 
Phi social fraternity, of which I am an alumnus. Todd, a senior at the 
University of Washington, was on a cross-country bike ride called the 
Journey of Hope. Each year, the Journey of Hope raises approximately 
$300,000 for the national organization Push America that supports 
people with disabilities. Todd's commitment to service was remarkable 
in someone so young. He not only helped lead philanthropy efforts 
within his fraternity, but also traveled to Mexico to build homes for 
the disadvantaged and volunteered for three different shelters and 
outreach programs for the homeless in Seattle. Todd had a bright future 
and no doubt would have continued to be an active and caring member of 
his community. My thoughts are with his friends and family, members of 
Pi Kappa Phi fraternity and the University of Washington.
