  Mr. TERRY. Madam Speaker, since 1961, the Peace Corps has had 200,000 
Americans volunteer in 139 different countries around the globe. Today, 
the Peace Corps currently has 7,671 volunteers working in 76 countries.
  In observance of National Peace Corps Week, I would like to honor 20 
volunteers from Nebraska's 2nd District currently serving around the 
world:

       Thomas Connelly, Steven Easterby, Jennifer Gaspers, Ashley 
     Gries, Brandon Gries, Laura Groggel, Victoria Hasiak, Curtis 
     Hudson, Margo Hunt, Annette Hunthrop, Mary Johnson, Laura 
     Koonce, Nathan Lee, Keith Petit, Terri Pohl, Brigitte Pohren,

  These men and women have done a great service to the Peace Corps, 
their country, and the world.
