                   RECOGNIZING STEVE AND JULIA MOORE

  (Mrs. HOUCHIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. HOUCHIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize two exceptional 
leaders from Indiana's Ninth District, Steve and Julia Moore, whose 
commitment to protecting children has earned them the honor of having 
their names added to the founders wall at Johns Hopkins University.
  The founders wall honors individuals whose generosity and commitment 
have made a lasting impact on the mission at Johns Hopkins.
  Through their support of the MOORE Center to prevent child sexual 
abuse, Steve and Julia have played a vital role in furthering 
groundbreaking research, education, and prevention efforts, focused on 
ending child sexual abuse.
  For the Moores, this mission is deeply personal. After experiencing 
the lasting effects of child sexual abuse within their own family, 
Steve and Julia made a courageous decision to use their story and 
family name to bring awareness to an issue that has often remained 
hidden and to help break the cycle of abuse.
  Through the MOORE Center, they have transformed a personal hardship 
into a mission of help, bringing a greater awareness, supporting 
prevention-based solutions, and helping protect future generations from 
experiencing the lasting effects of child sexual abuse.
  Mr. Speaker, the addition of Steve and Julia Moore's names to the 
founders wall at Johns Hopkins is a fitting recognition of their 
dedication to serving others and improving the lives of children and 
families. I am proud to recognize them on this well-deserved honor and 
thank them for their extraordinary generosity and service to protecting 
children and strengthening families for generations to come.
