CONGRATULATIONS TO GLADYS RAYMORE WILSON CELEBRATING HER 100th BIRTHDAY

  Mr. ASHCROFT. Mr. President, I rise today to encourage my colleagues 
to join me in congratulating Gladys Raymore Wilson of Independence, MO, 
who will celebrate her 100th birthday on March 16, 1997. Gladys is a 
truly remarkable individual. She has witnessed many of the events that 
have shaped our Nation into the greatest the world has ever known. The 
longevity of Gladys' life has meant much more, however, to the many 
relatives and friends whose lives she has touched over the last 100 
years.
  Gladys' celebration of 100 years of life is a testament to me and all 
Missourians. Her achievements are significant and deserve to be 
recognized. I would like to join her many friends and relatives in 
wishing Gladys health and happiness in the future.
