                      Wednesday, September 5, 2001

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate and recognize 
the Honorable Senator John Glenn and his wife Mrs. Annie Glenn, on 
their achievement of the Greater Communicator Award.
  Senator and Mrs. Glenn have an incredibly dedicated history of public 
service, and have remained committed to serving their community for 
years. Mrs. Annie Glenn has suffered and overcome a severe stuttering 
problem, and after completing an intensive therapy program she now 
speaks confidently and has given countless speeches.
  Senator Glenn was the first American to orbit the earth in 1962 and 
returned to space in 1998. He was elected to the U.S. Senate in 1974 
and retired in 1998. His distinguished career as a public servant 
earned him the respect and admiration of his colleagues and 
constituents alike.
  Senator and Mrs. Glenn have dedicated their entire lives to the 
betterment of their local and international community. This Great 
Communicator Award is being presented to Senator John and Annie Glenn 
in recognition of their tireless efforts in public service and a 
lifetime of service. The Cleveland Hearing and Speech Center is 
presenting this prestigious award during their 80th anniversary 
celebration.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in recognition for two outstanding 
individuals, Senator John Glenn and his wife Annie, for their lifetime 
of outstanding achievement. Their love, dedication, and commitment to 
bettering their community has touched thousands of Americans.
