                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, September 29, 2006

  Mr. LINCOLN DIAZ-BALART of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to 
recognize the sixth annual Comcast Cares Day in Miami-Dade County on 
October 7, 2006. Several hundred dedicated Comcast employees and their 
families will join together to help the children of our South Florida 
community. Nationwide, over 30,000 Comcast employees will take part in 
hundreds of projects that are vital community service contributions.
  This year, Comcast employees are donating their time to His House 
Children's Home. This exceptional program cares for South Florida 
children who have been abused, exposed to drugs, or neglected by 
offering them a home environment. In addition, His House provides 
necessary counseling and health care. And His House provides these 
services to over 200 local children in foster care.
  Comcast employees will use this day to spend time with the children 
in the residential program and perform needed upkeep and maintenance on 
the residential building and surrounding grounds. The dedication to 
service exhibited by local Comcast employees and their families should 
serve as an inspiration to all the residents of South Florida.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to offer this statement declaring October 7, 
``Comcast Cares Day 2006.''
