            HONORING STUDENTS FROM MOLALLA ELEMENTARY SCHOOL

  (Ms. HOOLEY of Oregon asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Ms. HOOLEY of Oregon. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a very 
special group of students from Molalla Elementary School. Like the rest 
of America, these girls and boys were shocked by the attacks on the 
Pentagon and the World Trade Center. After a great deal of 
brainstorming, they agreed to raise $1,000 to send to the Families of 
Freedom scholarship fund which has been set up by former President Bill 
Clinton and former Senator Bob Dole. This fund will provide education 
assistance for postsecondary education to financially needy relatives 
of those killed or permanently disabled as a result of the terrorist 
attacks.
  I know that the students worked extremely hard to raise the $1,000. 
Some of them, I know, made great sacrifices to do this. I am so proud 
to represent the students of Molalla Elementary and thank them for 
their generous, heartwarming gift.
