       LATIN-AMERICANS FOR SOCIAL AND ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT, INC.

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize a very 
important organization in the State of Michigan. Latin-Americans for 
Social and Economic Development (LA SED), is an advocacy agency that 
has served the Latino/Southwest area of Detroit, Michigan for twenty-
nine years. LA SED has made tremendous contributions to the Detroit 
area and should be commended.
  LA SED will be hosting their Annual Recognition Luncheon on 
Wednesday, May 20, 1998 at the International Market Place in Greektown, 
Detroit. The theme of the lunch is ``Corporate Volunteerism--Giving 
Back.'' This event will undoubtedly be a great success.

  At this time I want to extend my warmest regards and appreciation to 
my good friend, Jane Garcia who is the chairperson for the luncheon. I 
would also like to express my appreciation to everyone who is involved 
in making this organization so effective. I wish LA SED continued 
success.
