                         PROJECT ENLIGHTENMENT

  (Ms. ROSS asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROSS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a pioneering 
institution in the field of early childhood education located in my 
district, Project Enlightenment.
  Project Enlightenment provides extraordinary services to families and 
children, and I was privileged to visit with them last week.
  In the late 1960s, insightful staff from the Raleigh city schools, 
Wake County Mental Health and Dorothea Dix Child Psychiatry recognized 
that strengthening a child's social and emotional development in the 
early years would have long-term benefits. They were right, and the 
American Families Plan recognizes this fact.
  Project Enlightenment has offered prevention and early intervention 
services to young children by providing services to the primary 
caregivers in their lives. Over the years, they have helped people all 
over the State of North Carolina and all over the country.
  I am grateful for the attentive staff that includes a variety of 
professionals. Because of their commitment to our children, they truly 
make our county and State a better place.
