                       TRIBUTE TO ABIGAIL M. POLUS

                                 ______


                          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 woman from my district who has recently 
accepted her appointment as a member of the class of 1999 at the U.S. 
Military Academy.
  Abigail M. Polus will soon graduate Bowling Green High School after 4 
years of outstanding academic achievements as well as extracurricular 
involvement. While in high school Abigail 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 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 Abigail Polus 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.
