  Mr. CRANE. Mr. Speaker, I would like to honor five very special 
business leaders in my district who were recognized and honored on May 
11, 1995 by the Rolling Meadows Chamber of Commerce for their 
contributions to the community.
  David Hill, Jr., chairman and president of Kimball Hill, Inc., was 
honored as the 1994 Business Leader of the Year. Having grown to become 
one of the 50 largest homebuilders in the United States, Kimball Hill 
Homes collectively delivered over 1,000 homes in 1994 alone. In 
addition, Mr. Hill has been involved in national housing policy efforts 
and has testified before Congress on housing finance issues. Moreover, 
he has been an extremely active participant in a number of local and 
regional planning, affordable housing, and charitable organizations.
  Dr. Arvind Goyal, of Family Doctor, Inc., was honored as the 1994 
Community Leader of the Year. Aside from having served residents for 16 
years as a family doctor, Dr. Goyal has belonged to a wide range of 
local, State, and national organizations, such as the American Medical 
Association and the American Cancer Society. Other activities that have 
benefited the community include his public presentations and 
testimonials on health and other issues before a number of community 
institutions. Finally, Dr. Goyal has actively lobbied State and Federal 
legislators on such issues as smoking restrictions in business places, 
prevention of domestic violence, and health care reform.
  Helene Curtis Industries, Inc., was honored with the 1994 Business 
Beautification Award. This respected Fortune 500 company which has been 
headquartered in Chicago for years completely renovated their building 
at 3100 Golf Road. The Rolling Meadows Chamber has obviously taken note 
of the marked improvement in appearance.
  McMinn & Troutman was honored as Small Business of the Year. Having 
moonlighted as my campaign treasurer for the past 25 years, I am 
pleased to see Billy McMinn recognized for all the dedicated time and 
effort that he and his partner, Larry Troutman, have put into their 
business. Aside from their exceptional skills within the office, McMinn 
and Troutman have been longtime civic volunteers, as each are also 
active members of the Rolling Meadows Rotary Club, their respective 
churches, and many other civic institutions within the community.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate these five business leaders 
of Rolling Meadows for their hard work and dedication.
  Rolling Meadows and the Eighth Congressional District of Illinois is 
a better place to live because of them.
