Mr. Chairman, I rise to announce to my colleagues that at present, in the basement of the Rayburn Building, we have 45 young children from all over the country who are the victims of terrible tragedies in their homes who have been burned. These youngsters were brought here by the International Association of Firefighters. It is part of a week-long camp to help them get reoriented into their lives. I would ask Members, if they have some time, to stop by B369 in the Rayburn Building to say hello to these children and to see the tragic consequences of what fire does to young people, but also to see the spirit of these young people as they press forward, working with the IAFF to rebuild their lives.
