             IN HONOR OF THE MOST REVEREND DESMOND M. TUTU

                                 ______


                            HON. DAVID MANN

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 8, 1994

  Mr. MANN. Mr. Speaker, on June 13, 1994, Cincinnati will be honored 
with a visit by the Nobel Peace Prize Laureate, Archbishop Desmond 
Tutu.
  Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the accomplishments of the 
Most Reverend Desmond Tutu, Archbishop of South Africa. Archbishop Tutu 
will be honoring Cincinnati with a visit to the Queen City on June 13, 
1994.
  Archbishop Desmond Tutu was a bold and eloquent voice speaking out 
against the evils of racism that dominated his native South Africa. His 
has been a consistent message of reconciliation and nonviolence, as he 
asked, ``Can you imagine what would happen in this land if we accepted 
the theological fact about ourselves--that whether we like it or not we 
are members of one family?''
  This internationally recognized Nobel Laureate will be in Cincinnati 
to share his insights into how the struggle to eliminate apartheid in 
South Africa may have lessons for us in Cincinnati. I and all 
Cincinnatians welcome him.
