                       Thursday, October 9, 1997

  Mr. WHITFIELD. Mr. Speaker, it is with pride that I announce the 
christening of my granddaughter, Madison Whitfield Wilson, on Sunday, 
October 12 at Lakewood Presbyterian Church in Jacksonville, FL
  Madison is the first child of my daughter Katie and her husband 
George. She was born at 5:15 p.m., Thursday, July 31, 1997, at 
Jacksonville Memorial Medical Center and weighed 8 pounds, 6 ounces at 
birth.
  This wondrous event is a poignant reminder that the primary purpose 
of our service here as Members of the U.S. Congress is to build a 
better future for America, for our children, and their children.
  In that spirit, I share the joy of Madison Whitfield Wilson's arrival 
with my colleagues and urge our renewed dedication to ensuring that 
America's tomorrows will be even better than her yesterdays.
