                        HON. JOHN N. HOSTETTLER

                               of indiana

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 26, 1997

  Mr. HOSTETTLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor one of my most 
acccomplished constituents. On July 1, 1997, Mike Marshall of 
Princeton, IN, will end his term as the president of the U.S. Junior 
Chamber of Commerce. It is a distinct pleasure for me to join the 
residents of Gibson County in recognizing Mike Marshall for his endless 
work in helping to prepare future leaders as well as to bring to the 
forefront of public debate such issues as the future of Social 
Security, the fight against teen smoking, and the importance of small 
business to the future of our country.
  Mike Marshall first joined the Junior Chamber of Commerce in 1984 
after graduating from Ball State University and moving back to his 
hometown of Princeton, IN. Since becoming a member of the Princeton 
Jaycees, Mike has dedicated himself to bettering his community through 
many worthwhile Jaycee projects such as the Needy Kids Christmas gift 
giving program, the Annual Princeton Christmas parade, the MDA Pledge 
Center, the Annual Community Easter Egg Hunt, and other worthwhile 
projects. His dedication to his community and his organization has led 
to him holding many distinguished positions in the Junior Chamber of 
Commerce, including President of the Indiana Jaycees, Chaplain of the 
U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce, and culminating in his election last 
year as President of the U.S. Junior Chamber of Commerce.
  As a successful entrepreneur who founded ``First Place Trophies & 
Awards'', Mike Marshall has shown that the American dream thrives in 
small communities around the country. Now, as U.S. Junior Chamber of 
Commerce President, Mike has been a shining example of what is right 
with America and its younger generation. Mike Marshall has represented 
Gibson County, the State of Indiana, and the United States honorably in 
his travels throughout the world during his year as President of the 
U.S. Jaycees.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you and all Members to join me in paying tribute 
to Mike Marshall. He is an exemplary individual who has dedicated his 
life to making his state, and his country a better place. I applaud 
Mike Marshall's dedication and wish him continued success in his 
endeavors.
