                 THE 5TH ANNUAL HEARTS FOR LIFE BENEFIT

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize a very 
special event in the state of Michigan. The 5th Annual Hearts for Life 
Benefit, sponsored by Right To Life--Lapeer County, will take place on 
Monday, May 4, 1998, at the Lapeer County Center Building. The Master 
of Ceremonies will be the Honorable Michael P. Higgins and the guest 
speaker for the evening will be Monsignor James P. Lisante, director of 
Family Ministry and Pastor of St. Thomas the Apostle in West Hempstead, 
New York. He is a champion of pro-life causes.
  An event like this one is very important for the pro-life movement. 
It reinforces the fact that at every level, we have people who value 
the sanctity of life working together. This is very encouraging. All 
who are involved with the Hearts for Life event should be commended not 
only for their efforts in planning it but for their efforts in 
promoting this very important cause. I extend my best wishes and 
appreciation to the Right To Life--Lapeer County.
