                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. MARTIN FROST

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 25, 2000

  Mr. FROST. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a special 
young man, Makia Epie, of Cedar Hill, Texas, who is proving to be an 
outstanding addition to the Air Force Academy. Makia, who entered the 
Academy in the fall of 1997, has been named Flight Commander for the 
upcoming academic session. I know the entire 24th Congressional 
District joins me in celebrating this accomplishment.
  As Flight Commander, Makia will assist the Cadet Squadron Commander 
in developing and training the basic cadets. Makia will work to ensure 
that cadets develop the right military attitude and attention to duty. 
He will do this by setting an appropriate example in leading his flight 
drills.
  Makia's performance in the Air Force Academy deserves the highest 
praise, and I extend my sincerest appreciation for his service to his 
country. I wish him and his family the best in their future endeavors.
