  Mr. CLAY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Dr. Blaine Sayre for 
being awarded the ``Local Hero in Community Pediatrics Award'' from the 
American Academy of Pediatrics. This award recognizes Dr. Sayre for 
being a leader through action and advocacy for children in the St. 
Louis community.
  Dr. Sayre is highly committed to improving the health of children. As 
Medical Director of Health Care for Kids, Dr. Sayre maintains evening 
and weekend hours to provide accessible, high quality health care 
services to medically underserved and uninsured inner city children. He 
also serves as the Medical Director for Healthy Kids Express, which 
places two large medical vans near inner city schools and community 
locations to care for kids.
  Mr. Speaker, his steadfast commitment and his passionate devotion 
have earned him the privilege of being honored today before Congress. 
His sincere dedication to the health of children in the St. Louis 
community makes him worthy of our recognition and I urge my colleagues 
to join me in commending Dr. Blaine Sayre.
