                       Wednesday, March 16, 2005

  Mr. DOYLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a great American and 
Pittsburgher, Mr. Earl V. Jones, Sr. Mr. Jones is a constituent of mine 
and the founder of the worldwide Peace on Earth Campaign.
  The Peace on Earth Campaign is centered on community leaders and the 
many volunteers in the community who do their part day in and day out. 
Local firefighters, police and paramedics have co-sponsored Mr. Jones' 
project which is showcased by a flag designed by Mr. Jones himself. The 
flag and symbol for the world peace campaign is a dove and globe in 
red, black, brown, yellow, and white to acknowledge the ongoing 
struggle for world peace.
  In a post-9/11 world where terrorism and war surround us, Mr. Jones' 
Peace on Earth Campaign is a symbol for all nations to strive towards. 
The Peace on Earth campaign has been recognized and endorsed by 
President George W. Bush, former President Bill Clinton and Former 
Russian President Boris Yeltsin.
  Mr. Jones organizes numerous events to promote community involvement 
in the Peace on Earth Campaign. One of the many events Mr. Jones' 
organization promotes is a highly successful student essay program in 
our public schools. Each essay is designed to bring awareness of the 
theme of peace on Earth to the youth of the world.
  With his efforts to promote the noble goal of peace on Earth, Mr. 
Jones truly epitomizes the American values of peace, community, and 
brotherhood. I commend Mr. Jones on his countless hours of volunteer 
work spent as the ambassador and organizer for the Peace on Earth 
Campaign.
