                      Wednesday, January 23, 2002

  Mr. LUCAS of Kentucky. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of 
some outstanding students at Conner High School in Hebron, in 
Kentucky's Fourth Congressional District. Specifically, I salute 
members of the school's chapter of the National Honor Society for their 
award-winning community service projects in recent years.
  Most recently, Conner's honor students tackled an issue that we have 
addressed here in the House as well--the needs of America's homeless 
veterans. The honor students worked with a grocery bag manufacturer, 
Duro Standard Products; a local grocer, Flick's Foods; and Wal-Mart 
Stores, Incorporated; to have information about the Heather Renee

French Foundation for Veterans printed on 21 million grocery bags.
  You may recall that as Miss America 2000, Kentucky's Heather Renee 
French Henry made increasing our awareness of the needs of America's 
homeless veterans her mission, and came to Washington to campaign for 
the homeless veterans legislation we passed last month.
  Now, thanks to the efforts of the National Honor Society members at 
Conner High School and some civic-minded business people, many people 
are learning about the needs of homeless veterans and Heather Renee 
French Henry's organization. Specifically, I'd like to recognize the 
students--Ashley Tepe, Jennifer Golatzki, Amanda Kordenbrock, McKenzie 
Ryle, and Katie Stacy, their National Honor Society advisor Mike Hils. 
In addition, I would like to recognize these business people--Tom 
Coughlin of Wal-Mart Stores, James R. Eaton of Duro Standard Products, 
and Bob Flick of Flick's Foods.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in commending these outstanding 
students and fine corporate citizens.
