              GOLDEN HARVEST FOOD BANK OF AUGUSTA, GEORGIA

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Pursuant to the order of the House of 
January 7, 2003, the gentleman from Georgia (Mr. Burns) is recognized 
during morning hour debates for 1 minute.
  Mr. BURNS. Mr. Speaker, we are quickly approaching a season known for 
giving thanks and goodwill. Next week is Thanksgiving. Far too often, 
we fail to recognize those who work year-round to improve the lives of 
the less fortunate.
  This Friday, the Golden Harvest Food Bank in Augusta, Georgia, will 
celebrate the successful conclusion of its $2 million ``Feed the 
People'' capital campaign. Through business and community generosity, 
Golden Harvest Food Bank will be able to reach nearly 71,000 families 
every year in its 25-county service area in both Georgia and South 
Carolina.
  In this Nation of abundance, some still go without the basics that 
others of us take for granted. I am thankful that we have individuals 
who give time, service, and donations to see that these basic needs are 
met.
  Mr. Speaker, in this time of giving thanks, let us remember those who 
worked tirelessly throughout the year to help the less fortunate.
