             TRIBUTE TO CAPT. EMMANUEL L. ``MANNY'' JENKINS

                                 ______


                          HON. PAUL E. GILLMOR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, February 24, 1995
  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Capt. Emmanuel L. 
``Manny'' Jenkins, U.S. Maritime Service, on the occasion of his 
retirement from service at the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy.
  Manny Jenkins served on active duty in the U.S. Navy from 1957 to 
1960 at the Third Naval District Headquarters. He joined the staff of 
the U.S. Merchant Marine Academy [USMMA] in 1970, after spending 10 
years with Dryfuse & Co., a member of the New York Stock Exchange.
  Manny Jenkins' career included distinguished service as the USMMA 
director of admissions. Under his stewardship, USMMA's ranking in 
Barrons' Profiles of American Colleges elevated to the top category of 
most competitive in 1979, a position occupied by only 32 other select 
institutions.
  In May 1992, Captain Jenkins was appointed as the USMMA Congressional 
Liaison Officer by the Superintendent of the Academy.
  Captain Jenkins graduated from Howard University in 1956. He holds a 
masters in education degree from C.W. Post College, and a masters in 
science degree from Long Island University. He is a Commander (retired) 
in the U.S. Naval Reserve.
  Captain Jenkins has received numerous awards from the Maritime 
Administration, including the Special Achievement Award, the Medal for 
Superior Service, and the Equal Opportunity Award. He also received the 
Maritime Administration's Bronze Medal, the top honor award granted in 
recognition of extremely competent performance of official departmental 
duties over a long period of time.
  Mr. Speaker, Manny Jenkins' service to his country has touched the 
lives of countless young men and women entering the United States 
Merchant Marine Academy in pursuit of careers in the maritime service. 
His integrity and his commitment to excellence are the trademarks of 
his career.
  I ask my colleague to join me in thanking him for his distinguished 
and selfless service to the U.S. Navy and the U.S. Merchant Marine 
Academy, and to wish him well as he enters this new and exciting time 
in his life.
