                            HON. IKE SKELTON

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 12, 2002

  Mr. SKELTON. Mr. Speaker, let me take this means to congratulate the 
city of Clinton, Missouri, for being recognized as the first recipient 
of the ``Random Acts of Service'' award sponsored by Hilton Hotels 
Corporation. In response to a national re-commitment to the service of 
our neighborhoods and our nation, Hilton Hotels launched a nationwide 
community effort aimed at committing one million random acts of service 
in 2002.
  The community of Clinton, Missouri, in conjunction with the program 
``Random Acts of Service'' will be involved in many volunteer efforts 
during the months of May and June. Volunteers from Hilton Hotels and 
citizens of Clinton, Missouri, will be restoring the Historic Missouri 
Artesian Park in Clinton, among other projects.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud the city of Clinton for helping to make their 
community and our great country a better place to live. I know that 
Members of the House will join me in wishing them all the best in the 
days ahead.
