         HONORING THE LEADERSHIP TRAINING INSTITUTE OF AMERICA

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. RON PAUL

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, June 24, 2011

  Mr. PAUL. Mr. Speaker, for the past 15 years, the Leadership Training 
Institute of America, LTIA, has helped teach young people about free 
markets, limited government, and traditional values. LTIA has trained 
hundreds of young people through their national conference in 
leadership excellence, critical thinking skills, worldview apologetics, 
network development and community involvement in a unique format that 
integrates a Biblical perspective.
  The Leadership Training Institute of America's National Conference, 
held each summer in Washington, is available to a select number of 
students who have demonstrated a passion for leadership. I am pleased 
that 10 students from my congressional district have been selected to 
participate in these conferences. LTIA alumni take active roles in 
local government and civic groups in their communities.
  Mr. Speaker, it is a pleasure to commend the Leadership Training 
Institute of America for producing conservative leadership that is 
actively involved in local, state and federal arenas, and for casting 
this vision to future generations. It has been said that ``Today's 
youth are tomorrow's leaders.'' LTIA has embraced this philosophy and 
is investing its resources to secure a bright future for America 
through conservative leadership. I hope my colleagues will join me in 
honoring the Leadership Training Institute of America for their 
outstanding training of America's youth for the past 15 years.
