Mr. Speaker, today I pay tribute to the 75th Anniversary\nof the founding of Alpha Phi Omega National Service Fraternity.\n  On December 16, 1925, Frank Horton formed Alpha Phi Omega with a\ngroup of students at Lafayette College in Easton, Pennsylvania.\nHorton's service in World War I, and his subsequent introduction to the\nScout Oath and Law, helped to inspire him to found the fraternity as a\nway to encourage young people to help others and to bring about a\nbetter, more peaceful world.\n  Alpha Phi Omega members are united by the principles of leadership,\nfriendship and service. These principles are designed to aid fraternity\nmembers in discovering and developing their leadership abilities, not\nonly by making last friendships, but also by planning and providing\nhelpful service to others.\n  Since its founding, Alpha Phi Omega has chartered chapters at more\nthan 700 campuses nationwide, and more than 300,000 Americans have been\ninducted into the organization. The fraternity is proud to count\nMembers of Congress and even Presidents of the United States among its\nmany distinguished alumni. Today, Alpha Phi Omega is active on about\n350 campuses, large and small, with 18,000 current members throughout\nthe country.\n  For its members, Alpha Phi Omega is much more than an extracurricular\nactivity. It is a way for members to make their campuses, their\ncommunities and their world a better place for all of us. Alpha Phi\nOmega begins as a college experience, but its members have made it a\nlifetime commitment to turning Frank Reed Horton's noble ideal of a\nbetter and more peaceful world into a reality.\n  I commend Alpha Phi Omega National Service Fraternity for a\nsuccessful first 75 years,\n\n[[Page E2191]]\n\nand I would like to thank my friend and constituent, Mr. Ed Richter of\nFranklin, Ohio, for bringing this significant milestone to my\nattention. Mr. Richter currently serves as National Service/\nCommunication Program Director for the organization.\n  I join my colleagues in wishing continued success to Alpha Phi Omega\nand its distinguished members and alumni.\n\n                          ____________________"]], "columns": ["granule_id", "date", "congress", "session", "volume", "issue", "title", "chamber", "granule_class", "sub_granule_class", "page_start", "page_end", "speakers", "bills", "citation", "full_text"], "primary_keys": ["granule_id"], "primary_key_values": ["CREC-2000-12-15-pt1-PgE2190-3"], "units": {}, "query_ms": 27.400867082178593, "source": "Federal Register API & Regulations.gov API", "source_url": "https://www.federalregister.gov/developers/api/v1", "license": "Public Domain (U.S. Government data)", "license_url": "https://www.regulations.gov/faq"}
