                        Wednesday, July 21, 2004

  Mr. BOEHLERT. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
applaud the efforts of the Chenango River Workcamp in Greene, NY. The 
Chenango River Workcamp is comprised of young students from across the 
Nation. This faith-based group of youngsters has dedicated a good 
portion of their summer to help the Chenango Housing Council rebuild 
and rehabilitate 61 homes for senior citizens and low-income families 
who might otherwise not benefit from these repairs.
  This group of 450 young students has selflessly put the needs of 
others first and I am proud of their commitment to community and those 
in need. This leadership sets an excellent example to other youngsters 
and provides a shining ray of hope for our future. On behalf of my 
constituents in Upstate New York and all of the areas of the Nation 
these exceptional students are from, thank you.

                          ____________________
