                           ST. JUDE MARATHON

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, tomorrow, will be the beginning of the 
weekend of the St. Jude Marathon in Memphis, Tennessee.
  Memphis is a city that has much to be proud of, but one of our most 
prideful things is we are home to St. Jude Children's Research 
Hospital. It cures cancers, tries to cure the ones that they haven't 
yet, and gives children with cancer opportunities to be treated free of 
charge.
  This week, there will be a St. Jude marathon through Memphis; a big 
race with thousands and thousands of runners who are there to raise 
money for St. Jude and to bring attention to what St. Jude does for the 
children of the world.
  I praise St. Jude, and I am appreciative that they are in Memphis. I 
encourage everybody to support them and to contribute.
  I am not supposed to say that but I did.
