                         TRIBUTE TO JEFF GLUECK

Mrs. FEINSTEIN. Mr. President, I want to pay special tribute to 
an outstanding citizen and participant of the distinguished White House 
Fellowship Program--Jeffrey Glueck from Newport Beach, CA.
  Mr. Glueck, a management consultant with Monitor Co. in Cambridge, 
Massachusetts, graduated from Harvard University with honors, receiving 
his BA in social studies. He went on to earn an MA in international 
relations from Oxford University on a Marshall Scholarship, where he 
and a partner won the annual Oxford Debating Championship. Mr. Glueck 
has advised the Peruvian and Bolivian governments on economic 
competitiveness and from 1995-98, directed a national competitiveness 
project for the Venezuelan government and private sector. He was also a 
pro bono advisor to the Center of Middle East Competitive Strategy, an 
economic development and regional cooperation project for the signatory 
governments of the Middle East peace process. Mr. Glueck has maintained 
his long-standing commitment to public service with his involvement in 
many community-based organizations. He tutored at a housing project as 
a student in Boston, was editor-in-chief of the Harvard Political 
Review, was a founding participant of the Harvard Communications 
Project--an inter-ethnic discussion group--and started a recycling 
program at the Oxford University dorms.
  Since 1965, the White House Fellowship Program has offered 
outstanding citizens across the United States the opportunity to 
participate in a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Fellows work closely 
with influential leaders in government and see U.S. policy in action. 
The nearly 500 alumni of the program have gone on to become leaders in 
all fields of endeavor, fulfilling the Fellowship's mission to 
encourage active citizenship and service to the nation. This program is 
extremely competitive, choosing individuals that have demonstrated 
excellence in community service, leadership, and professional and 
academic achievement. It is the nation's most prestigious fellowship 
for public service and leadership development.
  Mr. Glueck had been assigned to the Export-Import Bank of the U.S. 
during his White House Fellowship. In this capacity, he works on ways 
to reconcile free trade with environmental protection around the world. 
He has helped coordinate a campaign for environmental standards of all 
OECD governments that would withhold public financing for projects in 
developing countries that damage the environment. In addition to these 
responsibilities, Mr. Glueck works to counter unfair trade practices by 
foreign governments in emerging governments and to promote sales by 
U.S. companies with environmentally-beneficial products to places in 
Asia and Latin America that can benefit from American know-how.
  Mr. President, I wish to congratulate Jeffrey Glueck for his 
accomplishments, and especially for being a distinguished recipient of 
the White House Fellowship. It is an honor to represent Mr. Glueck in 
the U.S. Senate.
