             TRIBUTE TO REVEREND SYLVESTER LAUDERMILL, JR.

 Mr. BOND. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to The 
Reverend Sylvester Laudermill, Jr. for his dedication and service to 
Saint Peter's African Methodist Episcopal (A.M.E.) church in St. Louis, 
Missouri. On Sunday, October 4, 1998, the St. Peter's A.M.E. Church 
will celebrate the good work of Reverend Sylvester Laudermill whose 
leadership has helped to bridge the gap between church and community.
  Among several of the outstanding contributions of The Reverend is his 
musical talent. St. Peter's Inspirational Choir is one of the most 
sought after choirs and they have an annual touring schedule. Another 
outstanding aspect is the Reverend Laudermill's family-oriented 
approach to faith. He is an inspiration to the entire community.
  I commend Reverend Laudermill for his spirit and energy throughout 
his many years of leadership and hope he continues to enrich the St. 
Louis community for years to come.
