           HONORING THE MUHLENBERG CAREER DEVELOPMENT CENTER

 Mr. BUNNING. Mr. President, today I take the opportunity to 
honor the Muhlenberg Career Development Center. Beginning with the 
ground-
breaking in 1973, this institution has been working diligently to 
better the lives of all its students. This has been acknowledged by a 
four-star rating from the National Job Corps Association and by the 
National Job Corps Award for Excellence it received from the same 
association earlier this year. The Career Center also received a ``Top 
50'' national ranking for Job Corps centers.
  The Muhlenberg Career Development Center has a profound impact on the 
surrounding community. The center employs 135 men and women, making it 
the fourth largest employer in Muhlenberg County. The center also 
generates a substantial amount of revenue for the community through the 
contract it has with the Department of Labor. The standard of 
excellence set by the career development center is greatly appreciated 
by the 404 students who are currently working towards a GED and 
vocation there. The dedication exhibited by the Muhlenberg Career 
Development Center towards its students, county, State, and country 
deserves to be recognized and honored.
  The citizens of Kentucky are proud to have the Muhlenberg Career 
Development Center as a part of their community. Their example of hard 
work and determination should be followed by all in the Commonwealth. 
The Muhlenberg Career Development Center has successfully found a way 
to bring out the best in its men and women. I personally thank the 
leaders and supporters of this great organization for continually 
producing strong and bright men and women committed to making Kentucky 
a better place to live.
