                       Tuesday, February 3, 2004

  Mr. HENSARLING. Mr. Speaker, in the month of January, across the 
country, the State of Texas and in the Fifth Congressional District, we 
celebrate School Board Recognition Month, to acknowledge the hard work 
of school board members and thank them for their valuable service in 
the education of our children.
  During School Board Recognition Month we honor the administrators, 
staff, and volunteers who work to promote academic excellence and 
provide a safe learning environment for our students.
  School board members are responsible for fulfilling one of the most 
important roles in our society--helping develop young men and women 
into the future leaders of our nation's economy, government, community, 
and houses of worship.
  I would like to extend my most sincere thanks to all school board 
members in the Fifth Congressional District of Texas for their 
continued dedication and hard work. Their contribution to the education 
of our children is truly helping to shape the future or our communities 
and our Nation.
