                         PICTURES ON ENVELOPES

  (Mr. LAMPSON asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute.)
  Mr. LAMPSON. Mr. Speaker, National Missing Children's Day is coming 
up on May 25. I want to remind my colleagues about what we can do in 
our offices to help find missing children.
  According to the FBI's National Crime Information Center, nearly 
2,000 children are reported missing every day in our Nation. One in 6 
children is recovered as a result of their picture being distributed, 
and it is vital that we do more to bring missing children home and 
safeguard our youth.
  Printing the pictures of missing children on our envelopes is a 
simple way we can get involved and help take a stand against child 
abduction and victimization, making our districts safer for our 
constituents. It is simple. For more information on how to get pictures 
printed on your envelopes, contact the National Center for Missing and 
Exploited Children at 703-274-3900, and ask to speak to the Public 
Affairs Department.
  By adding pictures to our office envelopes, we can help picture them 
home. Please, I say to my colleagues, let us not forget Ludwig Koons. 
He is being held in a compound in Italy where there is pornography and 
prostitution. We need to bring our children home, and we need help.
