          MR. JACK WILCOX INDUCTED INTO PLYMOUTH HALL OF FAME

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, on April 18, 2000, the Kiwanis 
Club of Plymouth, Michigan, with the assistance of the Plymouth 
Community Chamber of Commerce, the District Library, the Plymouth 
Historical Society, and the City of Plymouth, will honor three men 
whose commitment to the community has earned them a place in the 
Plymouth Hall of Fame. These men are being recognized because over the 
years their dedication and many efforts have played a large role in 
making Plymouth the wonderful town that it is today. With this having 
been said, I rise today in honor of Mr. James Jabara, Mr. James B. 
McKeon, and Mr. Jack Wilcox, who are rightfully taking their place 
among the ``Builders of Plymouth.''
  A graduate of Plymouth High School and the University of Michigan, 
Mr. Wilcox is a retired U.S. Navy captain. He has served the community 
of Plymouth in many, and varied, ways. A semi-professional actor, he is 
a charter member of the Plymouth Theater Guild. He is a past president 
of the Plymouth Historical Society, as well as a lifetime member of 
this organization. He has served as City Commissioner, and helped to 
organize the Plymouth Council on Aging and the Plymouth Economic 
Development Corporation. Mr. Wilcox is a trustee of Riverside Cemetery, 
a member of the Munipal Tree Board, and a member of the Block Grant 
Citizen's Advisory Commission. In addition, Mr. Wilcox is the host of 
the local cable television show ``Profiles in Plymouth.''
  Mr. President, I applaud Mr. Wilcox for his many efforts to better 
the quality of life for every resident of Plymouth, Michigan. His 
dedication to the town over the years is truly admirable, and I am glad 
that the Kiwanis Club has taken this opportunity to recognize his many 
contributions. On behalf of the entire United States Senate, I 
congratulate Mr. Wilcox on his induction into the Plymouth Hall of 
Fame.
