                        TRIBUTE TO EDDIE McGLOIN

  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, on March 18, 1994, five of Hamtramck, MI's 
finest athletes from past years will be inducted into the Hamtramck 
Sports Hall of Fame. At the same time, one of them, Eddie McGloin, will 
be awarded the E.M. Conklin Humanitarian Award. This award is given to 
a Hamtramck High School alumnus who has demonstrated excellence in 
leadership, guidance, and administrative skills.
  Eddie McGloin is winning this award because of a long involvement in 
athletics and a broad career in education, government work, and 
political activism.
  Eddie earned varsity letters in track, cross country, and boxing at 
Hamtramck High and was also a Golden Gloves boxer and a college boxing 
champion. He boxed when he was in the Air Force and even enjoyed a 
brief professional career.
  He was a counselor in the Detroit Public School System and worked in 
employee relations with the U.S. Post Office in Michigan and Illinois. 
He also worked for the Housing and Urban Development department in 
Detroit and Buffalo. He received a Superior Accomplishment Award from 
the Postmaster-General and a Citizen Achievement Award from WWJ.
  Eddie worked for two of Michigan's finest public figures, G. Mennen 
Williams and Phil Hart, and I am proud to say he also worked in my 
campaigns as a most valuable volunteer.
  Mr. President, I am happy to see such a fine person, and I must add, 
a good friend, honored in such a special way by his alma mater and his 
community.
