                BEING NAMED A NATIONAL CHAMPION OF YOUTH

  (Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate James 
McDonough, who is the director of the Florida Office of Drug Control, 
for being named a national champion of youth by the Youth Crime Watch 
of America. James has made incredible strides in protecting the dignity 
and the innocence of our youth in South Florida through several 
successful drug and alcohol prevention programs. Mr. McDonough's hard 
work and devotion have profoundly changed the lives of many of our 
young people. James has worked with Youth Crime Watch of America, which 
strives to create an environment free from crime and violence so that 
our children will be able to flourish.
  Please join me in thanking James McDonough for his selfless 
dedication to the care of our community's children.
