                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. JON C. PORTER

                               of nevada

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 6, 2007

  Mr. PORTER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor Mollie Singer a 
recent recipient of 12th annual Prudential Spirit of Community Award 
from Nevada in 2007.
  Mollie Singer is currently a senior attending Nevada State High 
School. At the age of 4, she was diagnosed with diabetes and now it is 
her goal to vigorously raise money and promote awareness of the 
disease. Each year Mollie organizes a team to participate in the 
Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation's Walk to Cure Diabetes, her 
efforts have raised over $100,000 for the foundation. Mollie also 
organizes luncheons, picnics and other events to collect money for 
medical research.
  In addition to her efforts on behalf of the Juvenile Diabetes 
Research Foundation, Mollie has educated the public by co-authoring a 
booklet called ``The Road to a Cure'', produced a video diary, and made 
public announcements. She has also formed a support group for those 
diagnosed with the disease. For her efforts, Mollie will receive a 
$1,000 award along with a silver medallion and a trip to Washington 
D.C. for her dedication to volunteering for this very worthy cause.
  Madam Speaker, I am proud to honor Mollie Singer. Her efforts to 
raise awareness and find a cure for Diabetes are commendable. I wish 
Mollie continued success in her efforts.

                       SENATE COMMITTEE MEETINGS

  Title IV of Senate Resolution 4, agreed to by the Senate on February 
4, 1977, calls for establishment of a system for a computerized 
schedule of all meetings and hearings of Senate committees, 
subcommittees, joint committees, and committees of conference. This 
title requires all such committees to notify the Office of the Senate 
Daily Digest--designated by the Rules Committee--of the time, place, 
and purpose of the meetings, when scheduled, and any cancellations or 
changes in the meetings as they occur.
  As an additional procedure along with the computerization of this 
information, the Office of the Senate Daily Digest will prepare this 
information for printing in the Extensions of Remarks section of the 
Congressional Record on Monday and Wednesday of each week.
  Meetings scheduled for Thursday, June 7, 2007 may be found in the 
Daily Digest of today's Record.
