                        TRIBUTE TO JAMES DUNCAN

 Mr. BURNS Mr. President, I rise today in recognition of James 
Duncan of Billings, Montana, a shining example of altruism and 
leadership. He is being awarded the 1999 Outstanding Fund Raising 
Executive Award by the National Society of Fund Raising Executives.
  As president of the Deaconess Billings Clinic Foundation, James has 
helped increase the Foundation's assets and endowments by over 46 
million within four years. However, Jim's efforts extend far beyond the 
reaches of his organization. He has worked with ZooMontana, was 
instrumental in the donation of $50,000 to Easter Seal, and donates his 
fund raising expertise free to rural communities across Montana.
  Montana is lucky to have people like James Duncan. His dedication to 
this community serves as an example for all of us.
