CREC-1996-10-21-pt1-PgS12424-2 1996-10-21 104 2     HONORING THE LAWRENCES ON THEIR 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY SENATE SENATE HONORING S12424 S12424 [{"name": "John Ashcroft", "role": "speaking"}]   142 Cong. Rec. S12424 Congressional Record, Volume 142 Issue 143 (Monday, October 21, 1996) [Congressional Record Volume 142, Number 143 (Monday, October 21, 1996)] [Senate] [Page S12424] From the Congressional Record Online through the Government Publishing Office [www.gpo.gov] HONORING THE LAWRENCES ON THEIR 50TH WEDDING ANNIVERSARY Mr. ASHCROFT. Mr. President, families are the cornerstone of America. The data are undeniable: Individuals from strong families contribute to the society. In an era when nearly half of all couples married today will see their union dissolve into divorce, I believe it is both instructive and important to honor those who have taken the commitment of ``till death us do part'' seriously, demonstrating successfully the timeless principles of love, honor, and fidelity. These characteristics make our country strong. For these important reasons, I rise today to honor Sherlie and Beulah Lawrence of Maplewood, MO, who, on November 9, 1996, will celebrate their 50th wedding anniversary. My wife, Janet, and I took forward to the day we can celebrate a similar milestone. Sherlie and Beulah's commitment to the principles and values of their marriage deserves to be saluted and recognized. ____________________
