                        Wednesday, June 4, 1997

  Mr. GOODLING. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the Pilot 
Club of York on their 50th anniversary. This international 
organization, comprised of executive, business, and professional 
leaders, has worked for many years to improve the quality of life in 
local communities.
  I am proud to say that the York Chapter, chartered on May 2, 1947, 
has one of the largest memberships. Since 1947, it has truly upheld its 
motto of ``Friendship and Service'' through extraordinary service to 
the York community. The organization has received many local and 
national awards for their volunteer activities which include sponsoring 
highway rest stops during the holiday season, financial contributions 
to the York Hospital, the York County Historical Society, Access York, 
the Moul Home and the Atkins Halfway House, and the establishment of a 
scholarship program. Their financial support and commitment to 
education has enabled 35 young people to attend college and pursue 
their dreams in fields such as medicine, engineering, and teaching.
  On behalf of the residents of the 19th Congressional District, I want 
to thank each member of the Pilot Club for their years of service 
toward improving our community and enabling so many individuals access 
to the American dream. I hope the next 50 years are as fruitful as the 
past 50.
