                           GRIZ ACES PROGRAM

 Mr. BURNS. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the Griz 
ACES (Athletes Committed to Excellence in School, Sport, Services, and 
Social responsibility) Program at The University of Montana-Missoula. 
This Veterans Day, November 11, 1999, over 200 student athletes will 
forgo a holiday to serve the Missoula community by participating in 
``Smart Choice Day.'' Grizzly athletes will visit local schools and 
promote the concept of service above self. They will speak to students 
about the virtues of being a positive role model. Griz ACES is a 
comprehensive year-round program of personnel development that is based 
on our Nation's founding principle, which is service to country. I 
commend these student athletes and the service men and women who have 
provided the guiding light for this excellent program.
