                        Tuesday, October 5, 2004

  Mr. GREEN of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, the Crime Prevention Foundation 
of Brown County is the first of its kind in the United States. Its sole 
purpose is to provide financial support for crime prevention programs 
in Brown County, Wisconsin, and is managed by the Greater Green Bay 
Community Foundation. It will support programs like DARE, 
Crimestoppers, School Liaison Officers and Teen Court--programs that 
keep our children safe.
  This program is completely privately funded, and will provide a 
stable, long-term funding source for these programs that face 
elimination because of state and local budget cuts. The Crime 
Prevention Foundation of Brown County is governed by a Board of 
Directors independent of any political body. The mission of the board 
is simply to support the most effective crime prevention activities in 
Brown County, Wisconsin.
  This program is an innovative way to help continue effective programs 
that help keep our communities and kids out of harms way. I am proud to 
recognize the innovative efforts of the Crime Prevention Foundation of 
Brown County, and wish them great success.
