                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 10, 1998

  Mrs. NORTHUP. Mr. Speaker, today I would like to recognize someone 
who has devoted his time and energy to making Louisville, Kentucky a 
better place to live. Pioneering one of the first high-tech multifamily 
developments in the United States, Clifford H. Turner has played an 
invaluable role for the City of Louisville. Nine years ago Clifford 
Turner's extraordinary vision enabled him to convert an old elementary 
school into forty-three apartment units. Listed as one of the top ten 
HUD insured multifamily housing development, this development is more 
than housing--it represents community living where neighbors share 
concerns and dreams.
  Building on this success, Clifford Turner continued his vision, 
converting an old parking lot into an additional twenty-eight housing 
units. This vision will not only provide new housing opportunities, but 
will provide new jobs for the citizens of Louisville.
  A sense of community spirit is what Clifford Turner has contributed 
to citizens in Louisville. Working together with local corporations, 
Turner is involved in a new tutorial program which will teach children, 
many in the African-American community, to learn how to use computers 
and to develop pen pals in Africa. Having friends in the community and 
throughout the world, Clifford Turner is truly an asset to Kentucky and 
the City of Louisville. His work and his dedication to children and 
families in Louisville is to be commended.
  I hope you will join me in recognizing the great talents of Clifford 
H. Turner of Louisville, Kentucky.
