  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the 42nd Annual YMCA Youth 
Governor's Conference that is currently being held here in Washington, 
DC. The YMCA Youth Governor's Conference brings together some of the 
most outstanding youth leaders in America. YMCA Youth and Government is 
a Nation-wide program that allows thousands of teenagers to simulate 
State and National government. The elected Youth Governors of the State 
programs are currently in Washington, and I am honored to serve as the 
Congressional sponsor for the Member's breakfast in honor of the YMCA 
Youth Governor's Conference.

YMCA Youth Governors for their dedication and service to America's 
youth.
