  Mr. HYDE. Mr. Speaker, one of Illinois' most distinguished citizens 
is Adam Tomaszkiewicz of Willow Springs, who was honored last January 
by the Illinois State Senate.
  State Senator Judy Baar Topinka offered the following Resolution 
which was unanimously adopted. I have had the pleasure of knowing Adam 
for many years, and he is indeed an inspiration to all of us who count 
him as a good friend.

                       Senate Resolution No. 988

       Whereas, Adam Tomaszkiewicz has been named Man of the Year 
     by the Polish National Alliance for his service to the 
     Polish-American community; and
       Whereas, Mr. Tomaszkiewicz, of Willow Springs, is the 
     president of the alliance's Cicero Society and has served as 
     national treasurer of the alliance and as chairman of the 
     national budget and finance committee; and
       Whereas, Adam Tomaszkiewicz has been active in the Polish 
     American Congress and chaired its $1 million fund-raising 
     campaign after World War II; and
       Whereas, He succeeded his father, Michael Tomaszkiewicz, as 
     treasurer of the Polish National Alliance in 1955 and has 
     served the association in many capacities since then; and
       Whereas, Mr. Tomaszkiewicz richly deserves the honor 
     accorded him by the organization he has served so well; 
     therefore, be it
       Resolved, by the Senate of the eighty-eighth General 
     Assembly of the State of Illinois, That we congratulate Adam 
     Tomaszkiewicz on being named Man of the Year by the Polish 
     Nation Alliance, commend him on his long history of public 
     service, and wish him all the best in the future; and be it 
     further
       Resolved, That a suitable copy of this preamble and 
     resolution be presented to Adam Tomaszkiewicz.
