                        Thursday, April 27, 2006

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, as a alumna of Washington and Jefferson 
College, I am especially pleased to recognize that this year's Hugh 
O'Brian Youth, HOBY, Leadership Seminar will be held at Washington and 
Jefferson College from June 15 to June 18, 2006.
  The HOBY Leadership Seminars are designed to prepare our country's 
high school sophomores to become effective, ethical leaders in their 
home, schools, workplaces and communities. Selected high school 
students from each of the 50 States, the District of Columbia, Canada, 
Mexico, Korea, Taiwan and Israel attend annually and interact with 
recognized leaders from business, education, the arts, government and 
other professions. These discussions are intended to generate 
opportunities for young people to demonstrate and develop their 
leadership abilities when they return home for the betterment of 
community and country through community service.
  This year marks the 48th year of outstanding dedication to 
recognition and development of leadership potential in high school 
students and the 28th year that the seminars are being conducted in 
Pennsylvania. Moreover, the Western PA Seminar is a 3-day workshop 
modeled after the World Leadership Congress and hosts over 70 students 
from high schools in the western one-third of Pennsylvania.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in honoring the Hugh O'Brian Youth Leadership Seminars and 
their distinguished service in Pennsylvania. It is an honor to 
represent the Fourth Congressional District of Pennsylvania and a 
pleasure to salute this premier leadership development program.
