                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 23, 2008

  Mr. ROGERS of Alabama. Madam Speaker, I respectfully ask the 
attention of the House today to pay special recognition to the work of 
East Central Alabama United Cerebral Palsy. For the last 50 years, this 
admirable organization has pursued its mission of providing 
personalized educational and therapeutic services to children with a 
wide range of developmental disabilities.
  In January of 1972, ECAUCP opened Calhoun County's first cerebral 
palsy center. Just 6 years later the center expanded to provide a full 
range of treatment for children in need. Today, ECAUCP and the State 
Department of Mental Health spearhead Alabama's Early Intervention 
Program which benefits developmentally delayed children and their 
families.
  I am pleased to help recognize the fine work of East Central Alabama 
United Cerebral Palsy, and wish them the very best in their next 50 
years of service to our communities.

                          ____________________
