            COMMENDING THE HARVEY S. FIRESTONE CLASS OF 1969

 Mr. VOINOVICH. Madam President, today I would like to 
congratulate the members of the 1969 Class of Harvey S. Firestone High 
School in Akron, OH, on the 40th anniversary of their graduation. 
Graduates of Firestone's Class of '69 have gone on to become 
distinguished and accomplished educators, scientists, doctors, artists, 
entertainers, athletes, public officials, entrepreneurs, and moms and 
dads. This is a tribute not only to those students, but also to their 
teachers who gave lavishly of their time, attention and knowledge to 
ensure a sound foundation for almost 400 young men and women.
  The State of Ohio has been long recognized for its excellence in 
education, and the 1969 graduates of Firestone High continue to leave a 
legacy that is a testimony to that excellence. This weekend these 
graduates will travel from all parts of the country and beyond to 
reminisce, and rekindle friendships. I ask Members of the Senate to 
join me today in congratulating the Harvey S. Firestone Class of 
1969.
