                           WORLD CIVILITY DAY

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. The Chair recognizes the gentleman from 
Indiana (Mr. Mrvan) for 5 minutes.
  Mr. MRVAN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Mr. Chuck Hughes, 
executive director of the Gary Chamber of Commerce; and Dr. Gordon 
Bradshaw, chairman of the public policy committee, for establishing the 
World Civility Day which was celebrated earlier this month on July 8.
  In 2015, Mr. Hughes and Dr. Bradshaw created the Community Civility 
Counts initiative with the Gary Chamber of Commerce and established the 
World Civility Day in order to encourage all individuals to be more 
mindful of our actions and to bring more understanding, more tolerance, 
and more listening and empathy into our society.
  I became a public servant in order to bring people together and solve 
problems, and that only happens when we treat each other with respect 
and civility.
  I commend Mr. Hughes, Dr. Bradshaw, and all of the individuals and 
organizations engaged in this initiative for their leadership to 
recognize the timely and worthy goals of World Civility Day.
