                   PRIVATE BRYAN J. WHITE GRADUATION

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I rise today to honor Private 
Bryan J. White of the 1st Battalion, C Company, Platoon 1038, on the 
occasion of his graduation from United States Marine Corps basic 
training at Parris Island, South Carolina, on April 30, 1999.
  Private White is fulfilling his boyhood dream of serving his country 
as a soldier in the Marine Corps. To that end, throughout high school 
he maintained himself in peak physical condition and excelled on the 
swim and

  His commitment to fight and sacrifice to protect the United States 
and the freedoms Americans cherish is to be commended. He deserves both 
respect and admiration for his dedication to country.
  I want to express my congratulations to Private White and wish him 
the best of luck. Most importantly, I would like to thank him for his 
commitment to the United States of America.
