                       TRIBUTE TO JULIE A. BALDUF

                                 ______


                          HON. PAUL E. GILLMOR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 2, 1995
  Mr. GILLMOR. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize an exceptional young woman from my District who has recently 
accepted her appointment as a member of the class of 1999 at the U.S. 
Air Force Academy.
  Julie A. Balduf will soon graduate Port Clinton High School after 4 
years of outstanding academic achievement as well as extracurricular 
involvement. While in high school Julie has distinguished herself as a 
leader among her peers. She is an outstanding student and patriot.
  Mr. Speaker, one of the most important responsibilities of Members of 
Congress is to identify outstanding young men and women and to nominate 
them for admission to the United States service academies. While at the 
Academy, they will be the beneficiaries of one of the finest educations 
available, so that in the future, they might be entrusted with the very 
security of our Nation.
  I am confident that Julie Balduf has both the ability and the desire 
to meet this challenge. I ask my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating her for her accomplishments to date and to wish her the 
best of luck as she begins her career in service to our country.
