             ``HUMANITARIANS OF THE YEAR'' AWARD RECIPIENT

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I rise today to acknowledge Tony 
Soave, of Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan for the contributions he has 
made to the Detroit area, as well as to the State of Michigan. Mr. 
Soave is the president of Soave Industries. Under his guidance, City 
Management Corporation, the environmental arm of Soave Enterprises, 
became the largest independent waste management company in Michigan and 
an industry leader in environmental practices and community 
responsibility. City Management Corporation has contributed greatly to 
the community by ``adopting'' schools in Detroit, sponsoring students 
in co-op education programs and offering scholarships. Tony has also 
made possible the restoration of economic life to abandoned and 
underutilized properties.
  It is with great pleasure that I announce that he is the recipient of 
this year's March of Dimes ``Humanitarians of the Year Award.'' Mr. 
Soave is being honored with this award as a result of his strong 
commitment to the Detroit community. He will be given his award at the 
26th Annual March of Dimes Sweetheart Ball on Saturday, March 7, 1998 
in Dearborn, Michigan. I extend my sincerest congratulations to my very 
good friend Tony Soave.
