   RECOGNITION OF THE KENTUCKY COMMUNITY AND TECHNICAL COLLEGE SYSTEM

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I pay tribute to the Kentucky 
Community and Technical College System of Versailles, KY for their 
hurricane disaster relief efforts. KCTCS has opened their doors to the 
displaced student victims of Hurricane Katrina through Operation 
Rebuilding Lives.
  The KCTCS statewide system of 16 colleges on 65 campuses has adopted 
emergency policies offering displaced students greater accessibility to 
financial aid, scholarship opportunities, and online course sessions. 
In addition, all KCTCS colleges have sponsored hurricane relief 
fundraising events ranging from blood drives to relief supply donation 
drives.
  I ask my fellow colleagues to join me in thanking the Kentucky 
Community and Technical College System for their efforts. Their 
commitment to providing relief assistance to the displaced students of 
Hurricane Katrina is admirable and I commend the KCTCS for the 
Operation Rebuilding Lives initiative.
