                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 8, 2000

  Mr. SHIMKUS. Mr. Speaker, I rise before you today to commend Dusty 
Buss for his efforts that helped save the life of 7-year-old Tia 
Creasy. Dusty, a 16-year-old sophomore at Brown County High School in 
Mt. Sterling, IL, was dropping his sister off at school as Cathy Creasy 
was dropping off her daughter, Tia, in front of him.
  As Cathy drove away she was unaware that Tia's jacket was caught in 
the door causing her to begin dragging her daughter alongside the car. 
On seeing this Dusty got out of his car and was able to get in front of 
Cathy's car before serious injuries could occur.
  Dusty did a very honorable and courageous act. I am very proud of his 
Good Samaritan attitude, which makes him a hero to us all.
