                      TRIBUTE TO DWAYNE O. ANDREAS

                                 ______


                         HON. E. CLAY SHAW, JR.

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 19, 1994

  Mr. SHAW. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Dwayne O. Andreas on 
his acceptance of the 1994 Horatio Alger Award. The Alger award 
``celebrates hard work, not heredity, potential and purpose, not 
privilege, achievement not aristocracy.'' These words were framed by 
Frank Resnik, a past recipient of the award, could have been written to 
describe Dwayne Andreas.
  Mr. Andreas embodies the spirit of excellence found in all the Alger 
award winners. As the chief executive of the Archer Daniels Midland 
Corp., he has defined the role of a dynamic, responsible, U.S. company 
in the global economy. At least three presidents have relied upon and 
respected Mr. Andreas' business acumen, private enterprise, and 
management techniques. Needless to say, Mr. Andreas knows how to make 
things happen.
  On the private side, Dwayne Andreas puts his money where his mouth 
is. He lends not only his name but his own hard work and funds to the 
causes he believes in. He and his wife and companion of 41 years, 
Dorothy, devote extraordinary amounts of time to the charitable causes 
which are meaningful to their lives. I am proud to call Mr. and Mrs. 
Andreas constituents as well as friends.
