The crown jewel of what we do really is working with young people. I think that probably gives each of us the most satisfaction of anything we do, the chance to go to college communities to talk with young people, to spend 2, 2 rac{1}{2} days with it. We have started now a Congressional Campus Fellowship Program. It actually began in 1976 and sort of teetered along for a while. We went to a number of places. But we have really institutionalized it. Part of the reason is, we have been able to work with the Stennis Center for Public Service in Mississippi State University. They have acted as secretariat of it for us and sent groups out. This year I think we went to 10 schools, and our goal next year is 20 or 25 schools around the country.
