                       TRIBUTE TO DON HOLLIFIELD

                                 ______


                          HON. DAVID E. BONIOR

                              of michigan

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, October 6, 1995

  Mr. BONIOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Don 
Hollifield who was honored this past Wednesday by the Clinton Township 
Democratic Club. Don was recognized at the group's biannual awards 
dinner at Paradiso Elegant Banquets in Clinton Township.
  After 2 years in the U.S. Navy and nearly 3 years with the Detroit 
Police Department as a uniformed patrolman, Don Hollifield began his 
present career with the State of Michigan as an investigator. For 10 
years he served as a drug investigator where he received several 
citations from the Michigan State Police. In 1983, Don's expertise as 
an investigator became an asset to the charitable gaming division. His 
experience has helped ensure that numerous charitable organizations 
operate successfully and in compliance with the law.
  In his various professional positions, Don Hollifield has been a 
servant of the people of Michigan, Detroit, and the United States. The 
people of the State of Michigan have been especially fortunate because 
they have been able to depend on Don Hollifield for 22 years. During 
these years he has devoted much of his spare time to many other 
organizations, including the Vietnam Veterans of America Chapter 154, 
the American Legion Post 225, and the Chippewa Valley High School Band. 
I commend him for his years of dedicated involvement.
  I also commend the Clinton Township Democratic Club for recognizing 
Don. He is committed to making the world a better place and his 
recognition at tonight's dinner is well deserved. His time, talents, 
and energy are appreciated by all of us and we are grateful for his 
efforts.
  On behalf of the Clinton Township Democratic Club I ask my colleagues 
to join me in saluting Don Hollifield. He has provided outstanding 
leadership in our community and I know he is proud to be honored by the 
club.
