  TRIBUTE TO MILKEN FAMILY FOUNDATION NATIONAL EDUCATOR AWARD WINNERS

                                 ______


                             HON. MIKE WARD

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 19, 1995

  Mr. WARD. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate the Milken Family Foundation National Educator Award 
winners. A recognition luncheon to honor these five exemplary 
individuals will be held Wednesday, October 25, at noon at the Marriott 
Hotel in Louisville. At the luncheon Dr. Wilmer S. Cody, Commissioner 
of Education; Foundation officials; leaders from business, government, 
and education, and the awardees' families will assemble to honor this 
year's recipients.
  In 1981, the members of the Milken families conceived an educator 
wards programs based on their belief that the most effective way to 
address the crisis in K-12 education was to focus on the needs and the 
resources of educators and to encourage bright young men and women to 
enter the profession. I applaud the Foundation's efforts to improve our 
Nation's educational system.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that a copy of the distinguished award winners 
which I am submitting be placed in the Congressional Record. I hope 
that the teachers will continue their invaluable service to the cause 
of education.
  The recipients are: Barbara Byrd Fendley, a teacher from Dupont 
Manual High School in Louisville; Jerry L. Hodges, a principal from 
Williamsburg High School in Williamsburg; David E. Jordan, a principal 
from South Junior High School in Henderson; Susan Bernstein Stucker, a 
teacher from Blazer High School in Ashland; and Joyce Ann Mason 
Winburn, a teacher from Eminence High School in Eminence.
