                   TRIBUTE TO CHRISTOPHER A. PICKETT

                                 ______


                          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.
  Christopher A. Pickett will soon graduate Fremont St. Joseph Central 
Catholic High School after 4 years of outstanding academic achievement 
as well as extracurricular involvement. While in high school 
Christopher has distinguished himself as a leader among his peers. He 
is an honor roll student and a member of the National Honor Society. In 
addition, he is a member of the football and cycling teams.
  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 Christopher 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.
  


                       SENATE COMMITTEE MEETINGS

  Title IV of Senate Resolution 4, agreed to by the Senate on February 
4, 1977, calls for establishment of a system for a computerized 
schedule of all meetings and hearings of Senate committees, 
subcommittees, joint committees, and committees of conference. This 
title requires all such committees to notify the Office of the Senate 
Daily Digest--designated by the Rules Committee--of the time, place, 
and purpose of the meetings, when scheduled, and any cancellations or 
changes in the meetings as they occur.
  As an additional procedure along with the computerization of this 
information, the Office of the Senate Daily Digest will prepare this 
information for printing in the Extensions of Remarks section of the 
Congressional Record on Monday and Wednesday of each week.
  Meetings scheduled for Thursday, May 12, 1994, may be found in the 
Daily Digest of today's Record.
