  Mr. JOHNSON of Georgia. Madam Speaker, in the Fourth Congressional 
District of Georgia, there are many organizations that strive to make a 
difference in the lives of youth.
  The African American Association of Georgia, AAAG, gives the 
opportunity for our youth to work with positive professional athletes 
in an up close and personal setting. The AAAG has demonstrated a spirit 
of giving, service and leadership to our district. Our district, 
families and community have benefited from the AAAG working to build a 
strong foundation in the lives of our youth mentally and physically.
  The AAAG has worked tirelessly to give their best to preserve 
integrity, mentor our children and to build our future. The AAAG is 
currently sponsoring the 2007 Sports Festival Track and Field Meet and 
I was pleased to proclaim July 21, 2007 and July 22, 2007 as African 
American Association of Georgia Days in the Fourth Congressional 
District.
