    MICHIGAN COUNCIL OF DELIBERATION SCHOLARSHIP FOUNDATION HONOREE

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I rise before you today to 
recognize Wesley A. Jones, of Grand Rapids, Michigan. Mr. Jones, has 
been honored by the Michigan Council of Deliberation Scholarship 
Foundation, an organization of which he is a member.
  Mr. Jones is being honored as an outstanding individual for his many 
business and civic contributions. Currently, Mr. Jones serves as Deputy 
for the Orient for Michigan. In addition, he serves as Deputy for 
Michigan for the United Supreme Council and is active in the Ancient 
and Accepted Scottish Rite of Freemasonry, Prince Hall Affiliation, 
Northern Jurisdiction and USA Inc. Mr. Jones should be commended for 
his community activism as well. He serves as an active member of his 
church, treasurer of the Grand Rapids Urban League Board of Directors 
and Chair of the Minority Business Committee of the Grand Rapids 
Chamber of Commerce. His activity extends even beyond these 
organizations. Mr. Jones, an engineer and businessman is a father of 
six and grandfather of eight. It is quite apparent that Mr. Jones 
selflessly and freely gives of his time.
  I am pleased to recognize the good work of Wesley A. Jones. He has 
been rightfully honored by the Michigan Council of Deliberation 
Scholarship Foundation.
