                         TRINITY RIVER MISSION

  (Mr. VEASEY asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. VEASEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend the Trinity River 
Mission for their dedicated efforts to ensure that all children can 
achieve academic success. I recently visited Trinity River Mission and 
was so moved and impressed by what I saw and learned.
  Today, the Trinity River Mission is a volunteer-based community 
learning center, servicing the educational needs of children, youth, 
and families in West Dallas. The organization provides a safe 
environment, nutritional meals, and an after-school program to support 
youth in grades K through 12 at absolutely no cost to their families.
  What I saw that day was hundreds of kids and volunteers like Dolores 
Sosa Green, Rosie Cisneros, and other volunteers who have come back to 
the community to work with these kids to show them that they can 
achieve anything through education.
