I was honored to read to a group of children at the Windsor
Park Branch of the
Austin Public Library. At the event, members
of The Austin Project, the Austin
Child Care Council and I
announced $1 million in new federal funding for early
literacy
programs.

I joined with
students from KIPP: Austin College Prep.

On December 19, 1995, when President Clinton signed the
"Lobbying Disclosure
Act" into law, I joined other House and
Senate reformers at the White House
bill-signing ceremony.

Shortly before the death of Israeli
Prime Minister Rabin, I had the honor of meeting
with him and
his successor, Shimon Peres, pictured here, to discuss foreign
affairs.

In 1995, Vice President Gore joined me on Austin's Town Lake,
where we met
with students who monitor water quality through
Colorado River Watch. The
Austin area enjoys spectacular natural
resources -- lakes, rivers and hills -- that
we work hard to protect.
