                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PETE SESSIONS

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 21, 2004

  Mr. SESSIONS. Mr. Speaker, earlier this month the 2004 YMCA Youth 
Conference on National Affairs was held in Black Mountain, North 
Carolina. This annual conference brings together the best and brightest 
of the Youth and Government programs from across the country. Over 500 
high school student leaders meet and discuss issues of national 
importance, and at the conclusion of the conference six graduating 
seniors are selected to serve as presiding officers for the next 
conference. This is considered one of the highest honors that one can 
receive in the YMCA Youth and Government program.
  I join my colleagues in honoring Gina Bullock for being selected as 
one of the six presiding officers to serve for the 2005 YMCA Youth 
Conference on National Affairs. Gina becomes the first Texan to serve 
as a presiding officer at this conference since 1997, and she will be a 
great representative for the Lone Star State.
  I wish her continued success and thank her for outstanding leadership 
for Texas.

                          ____________________
