               LONDONDERRY HIGH SCHOOL ``LOCKS FOR LOVE''

  (Ms. SHEA-PORTER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. SHEA-PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the selfless 
efforts of 182 students and faculty members at Londonderry High School 
in New Hampshire. These students and faculty members at Londonderry 
High School recently organized an event at school to donate their hair 
for wigs for cancer patients.
  Losing one's hair to chemotherapy is an incredibly heart-wrenching 
experience, and these students and faculty members wanted to ease the 
pain. Londonderry High School has seen the pain of cancer. A former 
student who cut her own hair has now suffered a relapse with leukemia. 
Two young women who donated their hair recently lost their mother to 
brain cancer.
  The school's ability to experience and to help others who are 
suffering is really a tribute to the school, to the volunteers, and to 
the students and faculty, and I congratulate them for their generous 
spirit.
