                   TRIBUTE TO MASON WILLIAMS ANDREWS

 Mr. KENNEDY. Mr. President, I rise today to welcome home and 
congratulate a young man from my home State of Louisiana, Mr. Mason 
Williams Andrews. Mr. Andrews just achieved his mission of setting a 
new world record as the youngest solo pilot to complete a 
circumnavigation of the globe, as Mason is about 4 months younger than 
the current record holder.
  Mr. Andrews set out on July 22, on ``Mason's MedCamps Mission'' from 
Monroe, LA, in an effort to achieve the new world record, as well as 
raise funding and awareness about MedCamps, which is a summer camp for 
children with disabilities and illnesses. Today Mr. Andrews has 
achieved both of his goals and will make his official and final landing 
in Monroe tomorrow morning, Saturday, October 6.
  It is my honor to recognize Mr. Andrews on a job well done. We are 
grateful for his safe return and applaud his courageous efforts to help 
a worthy cause by raising over $25,000 for MedCamps throughout his 2 
month journey.
  On behalf of the people of Louisiana, I would like to express my 
congratulations to Mason and thank him for his efforts in helping 
MedCamps continue their mission of serving children.
