             TRIBUTE TO FRANCIS MARION ``FRANK'' HENDLEY II

 Mr. LUGAR. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to the 
late Francis Marion ``Frank'' Hendley II, on the occasion of his 78th 
birthday on February 24, 1995.
  [[Page S3136]] Frank was born on February 24, 1917, in Birmingham, 
AL. After distinguished service with the Coast Guard in the South 
Pacific during World War II, Frank moved to Indiana, where he lived 
from 1946 to 1952. As regional manager for Gordon Foods Co., he ws 
instrumental in changing the Gordon Foods Co. slogan from ``Trucks 
Serving the South'' to ``Trucks Serving the Best.''
  Frank was elected the first national president of the Hendley Family 
Association, Inc., on November 22, 1975. He led the association with 
distinction during his tenure as president from 1976 through 1977. 
Subsequent to his passing on November 15, 1986, he has been honored by 
the legislatures of the seven States in which he resided, including 
Kentucky, California, Georgia, Tennessee, and Florida, as well as the 
cities of Indianapolis and Beech Grove.
  It is with pleasure that I offer this tribute to a loyal and true 
patriot who served his family and his country with great 
distinction.
