                   VETERANS' UPWARD BOUND ANNIVERSARY

 Mr. LUGAR. Madam President, the Veterans Upward Bound program 
has provided assistance to over 4,300 veterans in Indiana since 1979 
when Vincennes University began administering the program. Now, the 
National Association of Veterans Upward Bound Project Personnel, 
NAVUBPP, is celebrating its 25th anniversary this year and has asked 
that Wednesday, April 28, 2004, be proclaimed as National Veterans 
Upward Bound Day. This program, which began nationally in 1972, 
provides information and assistance to help low-income and first-
generation college veterans access to postsecondary education.
  I extend my congratulations to this organization, which celebrates 
its Silver Anniversary Conference on April 28, 2004.
