MCKENDREE COLLEGE’S NEW

fPRESIDENT

∑ Mr. SIMON. Mr. President, James W.

Dennis will be inaugurated as

McKendree College’s 32d president on

April 29. Whether as a faculty member

or administrator, Dr. Dennis has had

an exceptional commitment to young

people.

Throughout his career, Dr. Dennis

has been active in both the academic

and nonacademic communities. For instance, Dr. Dennis founded the National Youth Program which offers

educational and sports opportunities to

disadvantaged youth. He has also provided learning opportunities for high

school and college educators by establishing the educational seminars. A

world class advocate and educator, Dr.

Dennis has promoted student voluntarism and supported area alcohol and

drug-abuse education efforts.

As Illinois’ oldest college, McKendree

will prosper with Dr. Dennis’ activism

and commitment. I extend my best

wishes to Dr. Dennis and McKendree

College.

TRIBUTE TO LOUISVILLE MALE

∑

HIGH SCHOOL

f∑ Mr. MCCONNELL. Mr. President, I

would like to recognize Louisville Male

High School, from Kentucky, who won

first place at the State competition of

the We the People . . . The Citizen and

the Constitution. This victory entitles

these young scholars to compete in the

national finals held in our Nation’s

Capital.

The members of the Louisville Male

High School team are: Shannon Bender, Josh Bridgwater, Shilo Burke,

Katie Callender, Scott Embry, Jessi

Followwill, Adam Greenwell, John

Grissom, Christy Jones, Jonathan

Keith, Stephanie McAlmont, Stephen

McAlmont, Shannon McMillan, Travis

Moore, Kristi Mosier, Adam Pedigo,

Melanie Rapp, Amber Rowan, Chris

Rutledge, Shannon Simms, Eric Stevens, April Stivers, Ricky Suel,

Danyaun Vandgrift, Shaniqua Wade.

I would also like to recognize their

teacher, Sandra D. Hoover, who deserves much of the credit for the success of the team. The district coordinator, Tommy Dowler, and the State coordinator, Tami Dowler also contributed a significant amount of time and

effort to help the team reach the national finals.

The We the People . . . the Citizen

and the Constitution program, funded

by Congress, is designated to educate

young people about the Constitution

and the Bill of Rights. The 3-day national competition simulates a congressional hearing in which students’

oral presentations are judged on the

basis of their knowledge of constitutional principles and their ability to

apply them to historical and contemporary issues. Members of Congress and

their staff enhance the program by discussing current constitutional issues

with both students and teachers.

Mr. President, I would like my colleagues to join me in recognizing these

students. It is refreshing to see young

people wanting to gain an informed

perspective about the history and the

principles of the United States constitutional government. I wish the

members of the Male High School We

the People team the best of luck and

look forward to their future in politics

and government.

JAMES R. SCHLESINGER: PAUL H.

NITZE AWARD RECIPIENT

∑ Mr. MOYNIHAN. Mr. President, the

Center for Naval Analyses in Alexandria, VA, annually presents the Paul H.

Nitze Award in recognition of important contributions to national and

international security affairs. This

year’s recipient of the Nitze Award is

the Honorable James R. Schlesinger,

who received the award on April 6, 1995.

Dr. James Schlesinger is of course

one of the most experienced and able

public servants of our time. A distinguished economist, he served during

the Nixon administration in several

prominent capacities in the Bureau of

the Budget, ascending to Assistant Director in 1970, when the Bureau became

the Office of Management and Budget.

And, as Senators are well aware, he

went on to become Director of Central

Intelligence and Secretary of Defense

in the Nixon and Ford administrations,

and Secretary of Energy under President Carter. Dr. Schlesinger has also

served for many years as senior advisor

at Lehman Brothers, and he is widely

respected for his scholarship arising

out of his long association with the

Center for Strategic and International

Studies at Georgetown University.

On receiving the Paul H. Nitze

Award, Jim Schlesinger delivered an

outstanding lecture on ‘‘American

Leadership, Isolationism, and

Unilateralism’’ in which he points out

the need for close attention to the

leadership role of the United States in

international affairs in the post-coldwar era.

Mr. President, when a scholar and

public eminence of James Schlesinger’s

wisdom and stature addresses himself

to an issue of such significance to

world affairs, I believe it is incumbent

on all of us to take notice. Every Senator will benefit from a careful reading

of Dr. Schlesinger’s speech, and I therefore ask that it be printed in the

RECORD.

The speech follows:
