                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 25, 2004

  Mr. McINNIS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pride that I rise before 
you today to pay tribute to a remarkable man from my district who has 
dedicated his life to improving the lives of the citizens of Taiwan. 
Todd Laws, of Delta County, Colorado, started his mission ten years ago 
by devoting his time and efforts to help improve the lives of Taiwanese 
youths. Todd's work serves as a valuable model of service to us all, 
and I would like to ask my colleagues to please join me in recognizing 
his achievements before this body of Congress and this nation today.
  Todd recently returned from Taiwan after an intensive week of 
facilitating training for the Young Life leaders within the country, an 
organization that combines Christian beliefs with basic human values. 
While there, he taught basic skills such as balancing a checkbook, 
marketing oneself for jobs, and morality. Todd hopes to return to 
Taiwan in the near future, to continue this noble and worthy cause.
  Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to rise and pay tribute to Todd Laws for 
reaching out to the youth of Taiwan. He has truly demonstrated a 
devotion to the teaching of morals and values to the world's youth, and 
I would like to thank him for his contributions to this noble endeavor 
before this body of Congress and this Nation today. Thanks for your 
service.
