                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 2, 2001

  Mr. CLYBURN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Fifth Annual 
Academic Achievement and Recognition Ceremony, being sponsored by the 
Lake City Housing Authority for the housing resident students of Lake 
City, Johnsonville, and Kingstree. This special ceremony will be held 
on August 5, 2001 in Lake City, South Carolina.
  The purpose of the ceremony is to honor housing residents who have 
achieved academic excellence during the prior school year, and to 
recognize those who have obtained high school diplomas or college 
degrees. Special recognition will also be given to several individuals 
who ranked at the top of their classes. This innovative event has 
become an anticipated occasion for both the housing residents and the 
community. I commend Mr. Ronald L. Poston, Executive Director of the 
Lake City Housing Authority, and the Board of Commissioners of the 
Authority for instigating this creative, community-oriented occasion.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me today in honoring the Fifth Annual 
Academic Achievement and Recognition Ceremony. It is events such as 
this that hold our communities together, strengthen our future, and 
promote our values. I sincerely thank Mr. Ronald Poston and the Board 
of Commissioners of the Lake City Housing Authority for designing and 
implementing this innovative and important ceremony, and congratulate 
those students who will receive recognition this year.
