  Mr. CASTLE. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today 
to honor and pay tribute to Robert Brandt upon his nomination as a 
Jefferson Award finalist. For nearly 19 years, Mr. Brandt has aided 
Delawareans confronting personal crisis. Mr. Brandt has logged over 
8,000 hours of volunteer service and over 3,000 hours as a help line 
listener.
  Mr. Brandt's tireless dedication to the well being of others is an 
inspiration to all Americans. Mr. Brandt has touched the lives of 
countless individuals as one of the organizations most committed rape 
crisis volunteers. He is a most worthy candidate for the Jefferson 
Award and a truly outstanding Delawarean.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend and congratulate Mr. Ellison upon his 
nomination as a finalist for the Jefferson Award. Mr. Brandt's 
selflessness serves as an example to us all.
