                        Monday, November 7, 2005

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate the Mercer County Head Start Program. This week the 
program, created in 1965, celebrates its 40th anniversary.
  Over the past 40 years this non-profit organization has been 
committed to improving the lives of low-income families and their 
children. The organization brings together parents, staff and 
administrators to enhance the future for children and families.
  To commemorate the 40th anniversary there will be a ceremony held on 
October 24, 2005 in Farrell, Pennsylvania.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in honoring the 40th anniversary of the Mercer County Head 
Start program. It is an honor to represent the Fourth Congressional 
District of Pennsylvania and a pleasure to salute such a principled 
organization as the Mercer County Head Start.
