                          Tuesday, May 2, 2006

  Mr. BROWN of South Carolina. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize a 
group of volunteers serving at SPAWAR Charleston in the First 
Congressional District of South Carolina.
  Volunteering is a powerful force for the solution of human problems, 
and the creative use of human resources is essential to a healthy, 
productive and humane society.
  Our nation's heritage is based on citizen involvement and citizen 
participation. Volunteerism is of enormous benefit in building a better 
community and a better sense of one's own well being.
  Many agencies that benefit from volunteers will be participating in 
programs to show appreciation and recognition to the many volunteers 
among our citizenry who possess many skills and talents which they 
generously and enthusiastically apply to a variety of community tasks; 
and to encourage others to participate in programs as volunteers
  I encourage all SPAWAR Charleston employees to get involved in 
serving others. I charge those interested citizens to observe this day 
by seeking some area in the community in which they can devote a few 
hours each week and give aid to people or programs in need. I wish you 
all the best!
