  (Mr. FLEMING asked and was given permission to address the House for

  Mr. FLEMING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend MedCamps for 23 
years of outstanding service in the State of Louisiana.
  Founded in 1987, MedCamps of Louisiana provides a summer camp 
experience to children with physical and mental disabilities such as 
spina bifida, cerebral palsy, autism, and epilepsy. Each week, free of 
charge, children come from across Louisiana to participate in a week-
long, fun-filled camping experience at Camp Alabama in my district. 
Children participate in activities such as fishing, arts, crafts, 
nature hikes, canoeing, and many others. As a family physician for over 
30 years, I know firsthand the important role that organizations such 
as MedCamps play in the lives of children with disabilities.
  I congratulate MedCamps on their outstanding service to our State and 
wish them all the best as they continue to serve the children of 
Louisiana.
