  Mr. GRAVES. Madam Speaker, I proudly rise today to recognize Sandy 
Rempe of the Missouri Department of Public Safety. Her direction of the 
Juvenile Justice Program and the dedication and compassion she has 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 manager of the Department of Public 
Safety's Juvenile Justice Program for twelve years. Under her 
leadership, the program distributes federal grants that provide funding 
to sixty 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, system 
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.
