                        HONORING JIMMY WILLIAMS

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I have the privilege and honor of 
rising today to recognize Jimmy Williams of Lexington, KY. Jimmy was 
selected as a member of the 2003 Youth Leadership Team by the National 
Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy.
  Jimmy is a unique teen with an important message and opportunity to 
share his story with thousands of people. He works diligently to 
educate his peers on the ramifications of sexual activity in an attempt 
to halt America's teen pregnancy rate.
  Currently attending Bryan Station High School, Jimmy is an active 
Teen Leader of the Postponing Sexual Involvement, PSI, program and was 
once a training session panelist for the Kentucky Coalition. Teen 
Leaders, such as Jimmy, must complete a minium of 20 training hours 
before talking directly to middle school students about sexual peer 
pressure and health concerns.
  His dedication to delivering this message caught the eye of the 
National Campaign to Prevent Teen Pregnancy. Jimmy's strong work ethic 
made him the a perfect candidate for the Youth Leadership Team. He 
writes letters in support of the National Day to Prevent Teen Pregnancy 
to schools, students, teachers, media sources, and political leaders. 
Even on his off time, Jimmy can be found at local baseball games 
handing out flyers promoting abstinence.
  I'm pleased that Jimmy cares so much for the health and well-being of 
his peers. Please join me in congratulating Jimmy Williams and wishing 
him the best of luck in his new position as a member of the Youth 
Leadership Team.
