                           HON. RICK SANTORUM

                        Thursday, April 21, 1994

  Mr. SANTORUM. Mr. Speaker, it is truly special when a community finds 
the opportunity to pay tribute to a worthy citizen. I am honored to 
join in such a tribute for Eleanor Kratzer, a woman of extraordinary 
energy and talent with an unswerving commitment to her community.
  The list of people who have been touched in some way by Eleanor 
Kratzer's giving is unending. Throughout the years, Eleanor has 
contributed her leadership efforts to such organizations as the 
McKeesport Pre-School for Exceptional Children, the Women's Club of 
McKeesport, the Mon-Yough Unit of the American Cancer Society, the 
McKeesport Area Thiel College Women's Club, the YWCA board, the Semper 
Fidelis Club, and many others. She has also worked throughout her life 
with the Girl Scouts and Hadassah.
  Currently, Eleanor is a trustee of the YWCA, a member of the 
Salvation Army Corps advisory board, the McKeesport Symphony Auxiliary, 
the American Legion Auxiliary, and the 20th Century Club, among others. 
Frankly, her generous efforts are so numerous and extensive that even 
this forum provides insufficient space to appraise them.
  As a professional journalist and an editor with the McKeesport Daily 
News in McKeesport, PA, Eleanor had the opportunity to share her 
insight with readers throughout the Mon Valley. Her work as a 
journalist has earned her the considerable respect and admiration of 
both her colleagues and readership.
  Mr. Speaker, it is clear that Eleanor Kratzer's contributions to her 
community deserve our highest accolades and profound admiration. I join 
her friends, colleagues, and family in saluting her.
