                            HON. DAVID MINGE

                              of minnesota

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 24, 1994

  Mr. MINGE. Mr. Speaker, now therefore, I, David Minge, Representative 
of Minnesota's great Second Congressional District, do hereby proclaim 
May 24, 1994 to be a day of special celebration to honor and recognize 
the older citizens living within the boundary of Minnesota's Second 
Congressional District.

                              Proclamation

       Whereas older citizens of Minnesota's Second Congressional 
     District have contributed significantly to the quality of 
     life throughout the district; and
       Whereas without the influence and vision of older citizens, 
     Minnesota's Second Congressional District would not be a 
     haven of safety and prosperity for those who reside here; and
       Whereas the older residents of Minnesota's Second 
     Congressional District represent a ``touch stone'' to the 
     past and hold a keen knowledge of the rich history of our 
     district; and
       Whereas many older citizens of Minnesota's Second 
     Congressional District provide valuable volunteer services 
     which make it possible for the culture of our area to thrive 
     and grow; and
       Whereas senior citizens are deserving of honor and 
     recognition for their contribution to the social and cultural 
     environment of Minnesota's Second Congressional District.
