                    in the house of representatives

                          Monday, June 7, 1999

  Mr. MORAN of Kansas. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to recognize the 
dedication of Mrs. Esther Kraus to the young people of Kansas. She has 
served with distinction for ten years as the coordinator of the We the 
People . . . Program for Kansas' First congressional District.
  Mrs. Kraus' superior efforts on behalf of this program have far 
exceeded the normal duties of a district coordinator. She has 
tirelessly promoted the program, identifying local people who are 
interested in civics and government and finding ways for them to 
contribute to the goals of We the People . . . Mrs. Kraus has also 
provided materials and support to high school government teachers who 
are interested ion entering their classes in the competitive Citizen 
and the Constitution hearings. My district has been proud to be 
represented for the past two years on the national level in this 
prestigious competition. Mrs. Kraus has also been a dedicated 
participant in state and national coordinators' meetings related to We 
the People . . . She has never missed a single state or national 
meeting.
  Esther Kraus has performed a remarkable and valuable service to 
Kansas' First District. She has tirelessly promoted for young citizens 
an understanding of the United States Constitution. Through her 
efforts, the youth of the First District have become aware of this 
document and the power which it holds. On her tenth anniversary as a 
district coordinator for the We the People . . . Program, I would like 
to recognize and commend her for her excellent job promoting education 
and patriotism among the youth of Kansas.
