                        Wednesday, April 6, 2005

  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to bring 
before this Congress the following outstanding young people who have 
voluntarily served orphans, public school children, college students, 
juvenile delinquents, and needy families under the official invitation 
and authority of government agencies in Russia, Mongolia, Romania, 
Mexico, Australia, New Zealand, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, 
Philippines and China. The excellent character demonstrated by these 
young people, as well as their commitment to the principles upon which 
our Nation was founded, have not only attracted the attention of 
leaders, parents, the media, and students, but it has also brought 
honor to the United States of America and to the Lord Jesus Christ whom 
they serve.
