                   CONGRATULATIONS TO ELSIE ATHERTON

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, I pay tribute and congratulate 
Elsie Atherton on her reception of the 2004 Champion for the Aging 
award given to her by ElderServe of Louisville, KY.
  Ms. Atherton has dedicated herself to helping improve the lives of 
senior citizens in Kentucky. Her devotion to this cause was put to 
great work during her time at Metro United Way and United Way of 
Kentucky. She has done a wonderful public service through her efforts 
to combat elder abuse and financial exploitation of seniors. She has 
also been active in delivering meals to homeland senior citizens.
  The citizens of Kentucky are fortunate to have the leadership of 
Elsie Atherton. Her example of dedication, hard work and compassion 
should be an inspiration to all throughout the Commonwealth.
  She has my most sincere appreciation for this work and I look forward 
to her continued service to Kentucky.
