                 HONORING THE SALVATION ARMY OF NEWARK

  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor The Salvation Army for 
helping the residents of Newark, New Jersey, get through hard times for 
the last 138 years.
  Today, The Salvation Army operates five locations throughout Newark, 
serving each of the city's five wards. The organization serves more 
than 5,000 people in the city of Newark, helping them with their 
education, food, housing, and life skills.
  The Salvation Army's important work is boosted by the Federal 
Government's AmeriCorps program. AmeriCorps members, with The Salvation 
Army in Newark, provide after-school programs for young people as well. 
They work to develop the social and emotional health of Newark's young 
people, and they help strengthen children's education.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring the 
Salvation Army and AmeriCorps for their work and service to the city of 
Newark and the State of New Jersey and the United States of America.
