                          HON. PAUL E. GILLMOR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 11, 1994

  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize an exceptional young man from my district who has recently 
accepted his appointment as a member of the class of 1998 at the U.S. 
Military Academy.
  Stephen Killion will soon graduate Kalida High School after 4 years 
of outstanding academic achievement as well as extracurricular 
involvement. While in high school Stephen has distinguished himself as 
a leader among his peers, He is an honor roll student and captain of 
the soccer team. In addition, he has participated in the foreign 
language club, is a mass server and class president. Stephen's brother 
David is currently a cadet third class--Sophomore--at West Point.
  Mr. Speaker, one of the most important responsibilities of Members of 
Congress is to identify outstanding young men and women and to nominate 
them for admission to the United States service academies. While at the 
Academy, they will be the beneficiaries of one of the finest educations 
available, so that in the future they might be entrusted with the very 
security of our Nation.
  I am confident that Stephen has both the ability and the desire to 
meet this challenge. I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating 
him for his accomplishments to date and to wish him the best of luck as 
he begins his career in service to our country.
