                            TRIBUTE TO SCORE

                                 ______


                        HON. BENJAMIN L. CARDIN

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 12, 1994

  Mr. CARDIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to more than 
12,000 volunteers who are part of the Service Corps of Retired 
Executives [SCORE], a service arm of the U.S. Small Business 
Administration. I would especially like to recognize and honor SCORE's 
Baltimore chapter of nearly 100 volunteers, which this year is 
celebrating its 30th anniversary of lending assistance to small 
businesses.
  SCORE is an organization of retired business men and women who donate 
their time and energy to share their business expertise with the 
fledgling or struggling small business person. Their goal is to help 
small business men and women grow and succeed. Through the use of 
comprehensive workshops and individual counseling sessions, SCORE 
volunteers assist small business owners with management skills such as 
finance, administration, and operation. Nationwide, in the past year 
SCORE volunteers have assisted more than 300,000 small business owners.
  The vitality of our economy is dependent on the success of small 
businesses. SCORE volunteers provide a great resource for anyone 
interested in starting a business. As retired business men and women, 
SCORE volunteers are a great source of experience and information for 
this very important and growing part of our economy.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope you and my colleagues will join me in recognizing 
the expertise and dedication SCORE volunteers bring to our business 
community.
