                        TRIBUTE TO JERROD E. HAWK

                                 ______


                          HON. PAUL E. GILLMOR

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 13, 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 graduated Paulding High School in 1994 and enrolled in 
Marion Military Institute. At the institute he has worked hard to 
prepare himself for a career in the military. While in high school, 
Jerrod distinguished himself as a leader among his peers. He is an 
outstanding citizen 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 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.
