     SALUTE TO THE ``REGISTER TO MAKE THE DREAM A REALITY'' PROJECT

                                 ______


                        HON. THOMAS M. FOGLIETTA

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 24, 1994

  Mr. FOGLIETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to salute the ``Register to Make 
the Dream a Reality'' project, sponsored by The Philadelphia Martin 
Luther King, Jr. Association for Nonviolence. This year marks the 26th 
anniversary of Dr. Martin Luther King's assassination. In the spirit of 
Dr. King and his struggle for social justice for all, a voter 
registration drive will be held on April 4th at J.F.K. Plaza and 15th 
Street in Philadelphia.
  Dr. King believed in the power of the ballot for social change. This 
registration drive, in which more than 40 local civic and political 
groups will participate, is a fitting tribute to Dr. King's vision. I 
salute the Martin Luther King Jr. Association for Nonviolence and its 
Chairperson, Waverly Easley, President C. DeLores Tucker, and Vice 
Presidents Dr. Constance Clayton and Mary Mason for their work to carry 
on The Dream.
