“Mr. Speaker, in final closing, I would like to thank the gentlewoman from California (Mrs. Davis) and also thank obviously the gentleman from Nebraska (Mr. Osborne), but also all the other speakers who spoke here today. All these individuals spoke of incidents from their own lives or incidents in their lives and incidents they knew about in which young people were helped by mentoring. I think any reasoning person who has seen mentoring in action knows what a valuable substitute it can be sometimes for what is missing in somebody's life to help them. For that reason, I would hope we would all unanimously embrace this legislation before us.”
