                      Wednesday, November 13, 2002

  Mr. GORDON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend Ted Maliaris for his 
efforts to promote patriotism around the Nation through music.
  Ted Maliaris is now touring the United States performing ``A Tribute 
to America--A 21st Century Anthem'' which was composed by his mother, 
Ann S. Miller in response to the tragic events of September 11, 2001. 
The Anthem is dedicated to our Armed Forces, to our men and women in 
uniform, and all Americans who need to carry on in this time of crisis. 
By performing the Anthem with children's groups across America, Ted 
Maliaris hopes to inspire and promote patriotism for our great nation 
through song.
  Please join me in congratulating Ted Malaris for his service to 
America through the arts.
