                         THE NATURE CONSERVANCY

 Mr. SIMON. Mr. President, it is my pleasure to announce the 
appointment of Bruce W. Boyd as the Illinois State director of the 
Nature Conservancy.
  The Illinois Chapter of the Nature Conservancy has protected over 
57,000 acres of public and privately held natural area since 1957, and 
Mr. Boyd's creativity and leadership makes him an ideal choice for this 
important position.
  Mr. Boyd's active participation in volunteer activities has been a 
prominent feature of his career. He served as director of the Uptown 
People's Law Center in Chicago, and was also on the board of governors 
of Opportunity International, which loaned $8.2 million in 1993 to 
entrepreneurs in the developing world.
  I comment the dedication and public service commitment of people such 
as Bruce Boyd. His efforts to make a better world are both an 
inspiration and an example of the wonderful things that can be 
accomplished by people getting involved. I congratulate Mr. Boyd on his 
new position, and I look forward to a bright future for Nature 
Conservancy in Illinois.
