                                 ______


                          HON. PAUL E. GILLMOR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 3, 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.
  Jerrod E. Hawk will soon graduate Paulding High School after 4 years 
of outstanding academic achievement as well as extracurricular 
involvement. While in high school Jerrod 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 
[[Page E934]] and to nominate them for admission to the U.S. 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 Jerrod Hawk 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.
