     DISPLAY ON NATIONAL MALL BY THE HISTORICAL VEHICLE ASSOCIATION

  (Mr. LaMALFA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. LaMALFA. Madam Speaker, I want to point out a unique opportunity 
for viewing. The U.S. Park Service, their division of the Historic 
Vehicle Association, places on display in The National Mall, several 
times a year, unique vehicles with unique histories.
  Right now, in a glass case just a couple of blocks from here in The 
National Mall is the 1966 Volkswagen van that belonged to Esau and 
Janie Jenkins from South Carolina, who were longtime revered civil 
rights leaders back in the day, transporting people to rallies and to 
get them out to vote and for voter registration, education, all sorts 
of things in the civil rights movement, starting back in the 1940s 
until they obtained this van and used it for many years.
  It was brought out from a field where it had been deteriorating over 
many years. It was brought back to life in this display for everyone to 
see in this glass case. It will be here for the rest of the week.
  I encourage people to go down and check that out and see what the 
Historic Vehicle Association is doing.
