          BUTLER COUNTY UNITED WAY AND LABOR COMMUNITY SERVICE

  (Mrs. DAHLKEMPER asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Mrs. DAHLKEMPER. Mr. Speaker, I rise to express my gratitude to the 
United Way of Butler County, Pennsylvania, and their partners in the 
labor community for their annual service program Butler County Labor 
Month of Caring. The Butler County United Labor Council and the Butler 
County Building and Construction Trades are working with the United Way 
to help make homes safer in Butler. Safety equipment like smoke alarms 
and carbon monoxide detectors save lives. Yet many homes, particularly 
those of senior citizens, don't have these devices installed and 
working. Every Saturday throughout the month of May in Butler County, 
volunteer workers will install smoke and carbon monoxide detectors in 
homes whose residents cannot do so themselves due to age, health, or 
income limitations.

  On behalf of the United States House of Representatives, I thank the 
Butler County labor community and United Way for their generosity in 
giving the gift of safety.
