                       Friday, November 30, 2001

  Mr. GORDON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the good deed of 
Justin Bramel, a Murfreesboro, Tennessee, eighth-grade student who 
helped his school bus driver in her time of need.
  Justin's bus driver, Sally Brown, became sick one recent afternoon 
after finishing her route. Fortunately for Mrs. Brown, Justin spotted 
the bus parked on the side of a road. He realized something was wrong 
and investigated the situation. He found Mrs. Brown to be very ill.
  Justin calmly used the bus transceiver to advise school officials 
about the situation and direct emergency personnel to the location. 
Thanks to Justin's concern and levelheaded actions, Mrs. Brown is now 
recovering and should be back to work soon.
  I want to salute Justin for his quick actions and his concern for his 
fellow human being. People like Justin epitomize the spirit of this 
nation and make it a better place to live.
