                    CONGRATULATING ELNOR G. HICKMAN

  Ms. MOSELEY-BRAUN. Mr. President, I would like to take a moment to 
congratulate Elnor Hickman on her recent appointment to international 
president of Professional Secretaries International. Ms. Hickman is the 
first African-American to hold this very prestigious office in the 52-
year history of PSI.
  Ms. Hickman started her career as a result of Lyndon Johnson's 
Manpower Development and Training Act, part of the War on Poverty that 
President Johnson fought. She completed a MDTA course in 1967 and was 
placed in a position with the Legal Assistance Foundation of Chicago, 
where she is still working today.
  Elnor Hickman has had a very illustrious career in PSI, holding 
offices in the organization at every level. In addition she has also 
been very active in community service in Chicago. She is involved in 
Career Links, a mentoring program developed by Women Employed and is a 
regular participant in programs at Robert Morris College.
  As she takes her seat as international president, Elnor Hickman will 
preside at the Second International Secretarial Summit to be held in 
connection with PSI's international convention in Seattle in July 1995. 
The theme she has chosen for her year as international president is 
``Degrees of Excellence,'' an apt choice considering the excellence to 
which Ms. Hickman has devoted her life. The honor of serving as 
international president reflects her service and professionalism, and I 
am glad to see a resident of Illinois achieving this position.
