                     TRIBUTE TO MS. DOMINIQUE DAWES

                                 ______


                       HON. ELEANOR HOLMES NORTON

                      of the district of columbia

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 26, 1994

  Ms. NORTON. Mr. Speaker, I am delighted to salute the accomplishments 
of Ms. Dominique Dawes--the first U.S. gymnast ever to capture five 
gold medals in international competition. We in the Washington, DC area 
and in the WOL Radio family are extremely proud, not just of 
Dominique's historic achievement, but of the inspiring example she sets 
for young African-American girls and women. With great skill and 
discipline and with grace, poise, and quiet determination, she has set 
an unrivaled mark and has blazed a trail that others in African-
American community will seek to follow in their own ways. 
Congratulations, Dominique!
