  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Sandy Rempe of 
the Missouri Department of Public Safety. Her direction of the 
department's Juvenile Justice Program and the dedication and compassion 
she has shown for today's youth is to be commended. Due to her 
exemplary leadership, she has earned the prestigious Tony Gobar Award, 
an honor that recognizes excellence in the field of juvenile justice.
  Ms. Rempe has worked as the Department of Public Safety Juvenile 
Justice Program Manager for 12 years. Under her leadership, the program 
distributes federal grants that provide funding to 60 state and local 
agencies in Missouri to help support juvenile justice and delinquency 
prevention initiatives. Additionally, grant funds are utilized for 
training on juvenile justice, systems improvements, and intervention 
programs. Ms. Rempe also serves on many groups, committees and 
commissions including the Mental Health Transformation Leadership Work 
Group and the Drug Court Commission.
  Madam Speaker, I proudly ask you to join me in commending Sandy Rempe 
for this prestigious accomplishment with the Missouri Department of 
Public Safety and for her tireless efforts in helping Missouri's youth.
