             ``HUMANITARIANS OF THE YEAR'' AWARD RECIPIENTS

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I rise today to acknowledge the 
good work of Dr. and Mrs. Donald Austin, of Grosse Pointe, Michigan. 
Together, as a team, Dr. and Mrs. Austin have worked on behalf of 
numerous charitable organizations in Southeastern Michigan for almost 
thirty years. Dr. Austin, a neurosurgeon, and Mrs. Dale Austin, a civic 
leader, consistently and selflessly contribute both their time and 
effort to their surrounding community and to the State of Michigan.
  It is with great pleasure that I announce that Dr. And Mrs. Austin 
are recipients of this year's March of Dimes ``Humanitarians of the 
Year Award.'' The Austins are being honored with this award as a result 
of their combined contributions to their community. They will be given 
their awards at the 26th Annual March of Dimes Sweetheart Ball on 
Saturday, March 7, 1998 in Dearborn, Michigan. I extend my sincerest 
congratulations to Dr. And Mrs. Austin.
