     YOUNG PEOPLE IN MEMPHIS CHOOSING OCCUPATIONS THAT HELP OTHERS

  (Mr. COHEN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. COHEN. Mr. Speaker, there was a recent survey of about 9,000 
outstanding high school and college students and graduates asking them 
where they would like to work. They had 200 companies that were all in 
the Fortune magazine list of top companies. I'm proud of that group of 
students from ages 15 to 27. Their number one choice was St. Jude 
Children's Hospital in Memphis, Tennessee. It speaks well of that group 
of young people that they want to work to help others and to find a 
cure for cancer--and to work at St. Jude, which is such a wonderful 
institution in my home city of Memphis.
  Eight of the 25 sites that were selected by these young people were 
in the health care field. I think it's admirable and commendable that 
so many young people want to help others and do it through efforts in 
the health care industry, not necessarily in ways to enrich themselves.
  I'm proud that they chose St. Jude, and it wasn't just because of the 
Grizzlies.
