  HONORING NATIONAL PEACE CORPS WEEK AND THE 45TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE 
                              PEACE CORPS

  (Mr. KLINE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. KLINE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the nearly 8,000 
Peace Corps volunteers who served in more than 70 countries across the 
globe last year. More specifically, to celebrate National Peace Corps 
Week, I would like to acknowledge the 30 Peace Corps volunteers in 
Minnesota's Second Congressional District who graduated from St. Olaf 
or Carleton Colleges, which annually are among the Nation's small 
college leaders in providing volunteers to the Peace Corps.
  The Peace Corps, celebrating its 45th anniversary, provides practical 
assistance to host countries by sharing America's most precious 
resource, its people. I commend the Peace Corps volunteers for teaching 
those throughout the developing world how to build a better life for 
themselves, their children, and their communities.
  We should take time to honor these selfless volunteers for their 
valuable service.
  Mr. Speaker, I include for the Record a list of Peace Corps 
volunteers from Minnesota's Second District.
