                       TRIBUTE TO JAMES J. ADAMS

                                 ______


                          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 man from my District who has recently 
accepted his appointment as a member of the class of 1999 at the U.S. 
Military Academy.
  James J. Adams will soon graduate Hicksville High School after 4 
years of outstanding academic achievement as well as extracurricular 
involvement. While in high school James has distinguished himself as a 
leader among his peers. He 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 James J. Adams has both the ability and the 
desire to meet this challenge. I ask my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating him for his accomplishments to date and to wish him the 
best of luck as he begins his career in service to our country.
