                        Wednesday, April 6, 2005

  Mr. SAM JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, it is my privilege to bring 
before this Congress the following outstanding young people who have 
voluntarily served orphans, public school children, college students, 
juvenile delin-
quents, and needy families under the official invitation and authority 
of government agencies in Russia, Mongolia, Romania, Mexico, Australia, 
New Zealand, Taiwan, Singapore, Indonesia, Malaysia, Philippines and 
China. The excellent character demonstrated by these young people, as 
well as their commitment to the principles upon which our Nation was 
founded, have not only attracted the attention of leaders, parents, the 
media, and students, but it has also brought honor to the United States 
of America and to the Lord Jesus Christ whom they serve.
