                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 24, 2007

  Mr. HENSARLING. Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize the many 
students, civic organizations, Boy and Girl Scouts, service 
organizations, families and individuals who recently volunteered to 
``Keep Seagoville Beautiful.'' On April 14, 2007, the City of 
Seagoville and the Keep Seagoville Beautiful Commission sponsored the 
first annual Keep Seagoville Beautiful city-wide clean up. On that 
Saturday morning, over 150 dedicated citizens of Seagoville met at City 
Park to clean up their community. By the end of the day, those hard 
working volunteers had persevered through wind, rain, and cold to 
collect over 12 truckloads full of trash.
  This annual event strives to ``create an environment that 
continuously encourages the citizens to improve their quality of life 
and sense of pride in their community.'' It is the hard work of 
citizens like these, who take pride in their city, that will preserve 
our communities for future generations.
  It is for these reasons that I have the distinct pleasure to honor 
the City of Seagoville, the Keep Seagoville Beautiful Commission, and 
the many dedicated volunteers who participated in this event. I am 
honored to represent them in the United States House of 
Representatives.
