      1998 FRANK D. FITZGERALD LIFETIME ACHIEVEMENT AWARD HONOREE

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I rise today to acknowledge a good 
friend of mine. Ed Wyszynski is this year's recipient of the Frank D. 
Fitzgerald Lifetime Achievement Award. Ed has made tremendous 
contributions to the Michigan Republican party over the last thirty 
years. In 1968 he co-chaired the Nixon for President youth effort in 
Macomb county. From that point up until now, Ed has worked in 
presidential, senatorial, congressional and gubernatorial campaigns. In 
addition to his campaign activity, he has chaired four Lincoln Day 
dinners, been a county finance chairman, and has served on party 
executive committees for over 20 years. The Michigan Republican Party 
has recognized his efforts, three times naming him to its #1 Republican 
Club. Ed has relentlessly and

unselfishly contributed his time and efforts to the Republican party.
  In addition to his work for the Republican party, Ed finds the time 
to be treasurer of the Eaton Area Habitat for Humanity's Board of 
Directors and member of the Board of the Detroit College of Law 
National Alumni Association. Ed lives in Grand Ledge, Michigan with his 
wife Kay and their son James.
  I want to commend Ed for all of his service to the Republican Party 
and for all of his other contributions. I also want to congratulate him 
on winning this year's Frank D. Fitzgerald Lifetime Achievement Award. 
He should be very proud of this accomplishment.
