                       Wednesday, March 29, 2006

  Mr. CASTLE. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today 
to pay tribute to J. Randall Ward Jr., for his years of service to the 
United Cerebral Palsy of Delaware (UCP) organization.
  Randall has dedicated over 40 years of service to the United Cerebral 
Palsy of Delaware organization. Before Randall's efforts, the UCP's 
summer camp used an inaccessible swimming pool for more than 100 
children and all camp activities were held in outdoor tents with 
portable bathrooms as the only restroom facility. Camp Manito now 
boasts a new campus, with a larger more handicapped accessible swimming 
pool. The tents have been replaced with a beautiful building equipped 
with many amenities, including air-conditioning and accommodations for 
4 full-time staff members.
  Randall has been recognized locally as a finalist for the Delaware 
Jefferson Award, an honor awarded annually by the American Institute of 
Public Service commending outstanding public service leaders within the 
community. He is one of 5 very admirable nominees, all making 
exceptional contributions to

the State of Delaware. No matter who is chosen as the recipient of this 
award, they are each deserving candidates who demonstrate that one 
person can truly make a monumental difference.
  I congratulate and thank Randall Ward for all he has contributed to 
the State of Delaware. Many children are grateful and I am pleased to 
be able to vocalize their appreciation. He is an exemplary citizen and 
a proud American. Thank you, Randall, for all you have done and 
continue to do for our State and our country.
