  Mr. BARR of Georgia. Mr. Speaker, the dates Monday, May 28th through 
Sunday, June 3rd, 2001, will be recognized by the City of Kennesaw, 
Georgia as, ``Power Team Week.'' During this week young people from all 
walks of life will have the opportunity to be motivated, encouraged and 
inspired by their awesome displays of strength, and powerful, values 
based motivational message.
  In Congress we struggle every day with serious issues and problems 
facing the youth of our country. It is encouraging to know John Jacobs 
and his Power Team, are motivated by a quote from Mr. Jacobs himself, 
``today's young people are tomorrow's future.'' He is absolutely 
correct, and for more than 20 years, he and The Power Team have been 
taking the message of ``saying no'' to drugs and alcohol, the 
importance of high moral standards in one's life, and striving for 
academic excellence, directly to the youth of America.
  We commend John Jacobs and The Power Team for their continued work on 
behalf of America's young people, and for the City of Kennesaw for 
recognizing May 28th through June 3rd, 2001 as ``Power Team Week.''
