   CONGRATULATIONS TO CLARENCE VERNON WOODSIDE CELEBRATING HIS 100TH 
                                BIRTHDAY

  Mr. ASHCROFT. Mr. President, I rise today to encourage my colleagues 
to join me in congratulating Clarence Vernon Woodside of Excelsior 
Springs, MO, who will celebrate his 100th birthday on August 11, 1997. 
Clarence is a truly remarkable individual. He has witnessed many of the 
events that have shaped our Nation into the greatest the world has ever 
known. The longevity of Clarence's life has meant much more, however, 
to the many relatives and friends whose lives he has touched over the 
last 100 years.
  Clarence's celebration of 100 years of life is a testament to me and 
all Missourians. His achievements are significant and deserve to be 
recognized. I would like to join his many friends and relatives in 
wishing Clarence health and happiness in the future.
