                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 11, 1997

  Mr. KILDEE. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to rise before my 
colleagues in the U.S. House of Representatives to pay tribute to an 
outstanding woman from my hometown of Flint, MI, Ms. Pauline Pryor who 
is retiring from the Flint Branch of Michigan National Bank after 33 
years of service. Ms. Pryor has served as the assistant vice president 
of the Community Development Office for the past 10 years.
  As the assistant vice president of the Community Development Office, 
Ms. Pryor's professionalism and integrity were instrumental in securing 
many of the much needed investments in the Flint community. Ms. Pryor 
believed in the need to rebuild our city through new opportunities in 
jobs and housing. It is a privilege to know such a dedicated, active, 
and concerned human being as Ms. Pryor.
  Ms. Pryor is also an active member of the Foss Avenue Baptist Church 
in Flint. Through her volunteer work with her church, she continues to 
promote the prosperity of the surrounding communities even after her 
formal workday. Ms. Pryor has contributed in every aspect of her 
church: from being a Sunday school teacher to serving as the church 
treasurer. As a result of both her professional and personal devotion, 
Ms. Pryor has received numerous distinguished service awards in our 
community over the years.
  Mr. Speaker, it is indeed an honor and a pleasure for me to rise 
today before my colleagues in the House of Representatives to pay 
tribute to Pauline Pryor. She is a woman of high moral character 
committed to improving the welfare and dignity of those in need. I wish 
her many years of joy in her retirement.
