                   HONORING CROSSWINDS YOUTH SERVICES

  (Mr. FEENEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. FEENEY. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to join my colleague from Florida 
in recognizing Crosswinds in Brevard County, Florida.
  President Bush reminds us that America is a great, compassionate 
nation, and there is no better example than Crosswinds, which serves 
the youth and the teenagers and runaways that come to our community. 
They have won the prestigious National Network for Youth Award, and we 
are very proud of them.
  I was especially proud to be there as Boeing employees, who 
contributed huge amounts of their own dollars voluntarily opened the 
Boeing room at this fine facility. I was also proud to lead the Duck 
Race this year, where we raised money by floating some 10,000 ducks 
over the Intercoastal River. I will tell you that the fine people who 
lead this organization, including Jan Lokay, Jim Ross, Cynthia Handley 
and many, many others really care deeply about children.
  Finally, I want to recognize the young children that are working hard 
to turn their lives around for a better future, Mr. Speaker. There is 
no better example of President Bush's call for American compassionate 
leadership than Crosswinds in Brevard County.
