                       Tuesday, February 10, 2004

  Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, in the month of January, across the 
country, the State of Texas and in the Fifth Congressional District, we 
celebrate School Board Recognition Month to acknowledge the hard work 
of school board members and thank them for their valuable service in 
the education of our children.
  During School Board Recognition Month, we honor the administrators, 
staff, and volunteers of the Richardson Independent School District who 
work to promote academic excellence and provide a safe learning 
environment for our students.
  School board members are responsible for fulfilling one of the most 
important roles in our society: helping develop young men and women 
into the future leaders of our Nation's economy, government, community, 
and houses of worship.
  I would like to extend my most sincere thanks to all Richardson 
school board members for their continued dedication and hard work. 
Their contribution to the education of our children is truly helping to 
shape the future of our communities and our Nation.
