                        HON. WILLIAM (BILL) CLAY

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 24, 1994

  Mr. CLAY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the winners of 
the 1994 McDonald's Black History Makers of Tomorrow program.
  The McDonald's Black History Makers of Tomorrow program is an 
educational program that recognizes leadership, character, community 
service, and exceptional scholarship among the country's most talented 
youth. Honored during Black History Month, these young men and women 
represent vision and hope for the future that will shape America. The 
program features talented, minority youth and provides their peers with 
positive role models.
  The McDonald's Black History Makers of Tomorrow program honors 
outstanding high school juniors for their leadership, scholarship, 
community service, and character. The students that participated were 
asked to write a 500-word essay entitled, ``How I Plan to Make an 
Impact on Black History''. In response, many of the 1994 winners 
indicated that education as well as communication was the key to 
success. Over 50 applications were received throughout the Washington, 
DC area. From those, 15 winners were selected and were recognized at a 
reception on Capitol Hill on February 25, 1994. These outstanding 
students will be McDonald's ambassadors throughout the year.
  Now in its seventh year, this program honors outstanding high school 
juniors who have demonstrated leadership qualities and who possess the 
ability to make a significant contribution to the future growth and 
development of our nation.
  To the following students, I offer my congratulations on this 
exemplary achievement, and encourage you to continue to demonstrate 
excellence in your studies.
