           RECOGNIZING THE BOYS HOPE GIRLS HOPE ORGANIZATION

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JAMES M. TALENT

                              of missouri

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 30, 1999

  Mr. TALENT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the Boys Hope 
Girls Hope organization, who were among recipients of the Daily Points 
of Light Awards.
  Boys Hope Girls Hope was formed to address the needs of children 
whose families can no longer provide for them. Volunteers live with the 
children and staff and help maintain an orderly, safe, and caring home 
environment. The Daily Points of Light Award honors individuals or 
organizations that make a positive lasting difference in the lives of 
others, and Boys Hope Girls Hope is such an organization.
  Mr. Speaker, I have had the privilege of visiting Boys Hope Girls 
Hope often. It is a phenomenal program that offers so much to the 
children of St. Louis. Mr. Speaker, I hope that you will join me in 
offering congratulations to Boys Hope Girls Hope for receiving this 
award, and thank them for their continuing devotion to children in 
need.
