                            SUCCESS FOR KIDS

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Success 
for Kids, a wonderful organization working in my congressional district 
to help improve the lives of children and adolescents.
  Success for Kids is dedicated to empowering at-risk children by 
focusing on the improvement of four personal strategies: interpersonal 
skills, emotional intelligence, problem-solving skills, and improved 
self-sufficiency.
  In addition to its great work in south Florida, Success for Kids 
operates in eight countries and has proven to be effective in some of 
the most challenging areas in the world.
  Our children must be provided with every possible opportunity to 
achieve success, and this program is certainly making a positive 
difference in their lives.
  I especially applaud our local executive director, Yossef Sagi, and 
all the wonderful staff at Success for Kids for their valiant efforts 
in improving the lives of our children.
