                         Tuesday, May 12, 1998

  Ms. STABENOW. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to acknowledge the work of 
Seneca S. Foote, president of the United Methodist Retirement 
Communities, Inc.
  Mr. Foote has been associated with the church-affiliated retirement 
communities since his ordination as a United Methodist Church minister 
18 years ago. During his tenure, he has overseen major fund-raising, 
building, and

service projects at retirement communities in Chelsea, Detroit, and Ann 
Arbor, all of which have made a true difference in the lives of many 
families around Michigan.
  Specifically, there are projects across mid and Southern Michigan, 
such as the Alzheimer's/memory loss unit at St. Joseph Mercy Hospital 
or the soon to open 120-bed Alzheimer's and memory loss facility in 
Chelsea, that would not have been completed without the work, 
leadership, and commitment of Mr. Foote. These projects have made and 
will continue to make a positive difference in our community and to our 
families.
  Mr. Foote leaves his post as a nationally recognized leader in the 
field of long-term care. But most importantly, he ends his tenure after 
serving the people of Chelsea on the highest level. I thank Mr. Foote 
for his service and dedication and I wish him and his family the very 
best in the future.
