                      Wednesday, September 7, 2005

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate the Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team for their organization and 
participation of the World Harmony Run 2005.
  Commencing April 16, the World Harmony Run seeks to advance 
international camaraderie through bringing together runners from more 
than seventy countries and all fifty states. The goal of this event is 
to promote genuine goodwill and understanding of cultures through a 
10,000 mile trek that will come to an end on August 14th. This event 
was inspired by Sri Chinmoy in 1987 through his vision of sport as a 
means of furthering international harmony.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in honoring the participants of the World Harmony Run 2005. It 
is an honor to represent the Fourth Congressional District of 
Pennsylvania and a pleasure to salute the diligent work of the many 
volunteers involved in World Harmony Run 2005 and the members of the 
Sri Chinmoy Marathon Team.
