                         Tuesday, June 22, 2004

  Mr. ISSA. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate the George C. Marshall Institute here in Washington, DC on 
their 20th anniversary this June.
  For the past 2 decades, the Marshall Institute has tirelessly 
promoted the use of sound science in making public policy and has 
provided Congress and the public with valuable assessments of recent 
scientific advances and trends. By stressing fact-based assessments of 
science, the Marshall Institute has helped policy makers make wise 
decisions in contentious areas such as climate change, defense, 
bioterrorism, and civic environmentalism. I ask that all of my 
colleagues in the House of Representatives join me in honoring this 
institution, which has provided an invaluable service to the policy-
making community for the past 20 years, and in wishing them all success 
in the future.

                          ____________________
