              UNIVERSITY OF ARKANSAS ATHLETES AND COACHES

  Mrs. LINCOLN. Mr. President, today I recognize University of Arkansas 
athletes and coaches who are leading an effort to challenge northwest 
Arkansas volunteers to pack 2 million meals in 24 hours for people 
affected by the earthquake in Haiti. They are attempting to break the 
one-day record for the most food packed, which was set in Kansas City 
earlier this year.
  Under the leadership of Jeff Long, athletic director of the 
University of Arkansas at Fayetteville, athletes and volunteers will 
meet at the Randal Tyson Track Center on the University campus June 25 
and 26 to work 2-hour shifts filling and sealing packets of soy power, 
rice, dried vegetables, and vitamins. The packets will reach Haitians 5 
to 7 days later after being transported by ground and sea 
transportation.
  Called Razorback Relief Operation Haiti, the effort is also led by 
former Razorback golfer Rich Morris and sophomore track athlete Terry 
Prentice, a member of the student athlete advisory committee.
  I commend the entire northwest Arkansas community for pulling 
together to help their global neighbors in need. These athletes and 
volunteers represent the best of Arkansas, and I am proud of their 
efforts.
