RECOGNIZING THE ACHIEVEMENTS OF DISTINGUISHED ANNE ARUNDEL COUNTY YOUTH

   Ms. MIKULSKI. Mr. President, it is with a great deal of 
pride and satisfaction that I commend to your attention a number of 
young adults from Anne Arundel County. These outstanding individuals 
are listed below, and they are outstanding because of their character, 
their academic achievements, and their contributions to their home 
communities.
  Three years ago, an organization was formed in Anne Arundel County by 
one of my college classmates, Dr. Orlie Reid. He and other caring 
individuals gathered together to discuss what could be done to 
encourage our youth to perform at their highest levels and to be 
community minded, to reinforce the positive and discourage the 
negative. The Concerned Black Males of Annapolis has done just that 
since its inception in 1992.
  On Monday, June 26, 1995, CBM is recognizing 88 young men and women 
at its first annual awards dinner. These students were nominated by 
church, school and community leaders. I extend my heartiest 
congratulations to them all for their efforts, and to the organizers of 
the Awards Dinner and the founders of Concerned Black Males of 
Annapolis. A concerned community working with youth sets a fine 
example, and CBM has proven over the years that it works. My best to 
all of them.
