                             WOODROW WOODY

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I rise today to acknowledge an 
important event in the life of one of my dearest friends. On Saturday, 
November 15, 1997, Woodrow Woody will celebrate his 90th birthday. I am 
pleased and honored to send my heartfelt best wishes to him on this 
important day.
  Woodrow Woody is someone that I truly admire. Not only is Woodrow a 
successful businessman in Detroit, MI, he is a man who is deeply 
committed to his wife, Anne and his community. Through his tireless 
dedication to his community and the many organizations to which he 
gives much of his time, he has and continues to touch the lives of many 
in the State of Michigan.
  On this momentous day, I say thank you to Woodrow. He has inspired me 
and served as a second father to me throughout the years. His wisdom 
and integrity continue to motivate me and countless others. Again, I am 
honored to recognize Woodrow on the occasion of his 90th birthday in 
the U.S. Senate.
