                      Thursday, September 29, 1994

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
entrepreneurial achievements of a select group of leaders from the 
Chicago metropolitan business community. I am proud to salute these 
entrepreneurs and founders of small and mid-sized businesses for their 
induction into the 10th annual Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame, Thursday 
evening, October 20, 1994, in Chicago.
  The Institute for Entrepreneurial Studies in the College of Business 
Administration at the University of Illinois at Chicago cofounded and 
continues to sponsor the Entrepreneurship Hall of Fame, honoring 
outstanding business leaders whose spirit and success help keep 
America's business community strong and vital.
  The sponsors, the Arthur Anderson Enterprise Group, LaSalle National 
Bank, and William Blair & Co., have enabled the university to cement 
this partnership and recognize outstanding entrepreneurs. The program 
is exceptional because it creates an active partnership between the 
academic and business communities. Students and entrepreneurs alike 
benefit from an exchange of knowledge, experience, and creativity.
  Today, I would like to congratulate these leaders, each of whom is 
listed below, for using their imagination and resources to foster an 
excellent program which enhances the quality of higher education and 
underscores the value of entrepreneurship in America. I am sure that my 
colleagues join me in recognizing these entrepreneurial leaders for 
their important contributions to employment generation, the 
entrepreneurial spirit, and our great Nation.
