                                 ______


                         HON. ROMANO L. MAZZOLI

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 28, 1994

  Mr. MAZZOLI. Mr. Speaker, next week is the ninth observance of Public 
Service Recognition week. I am a proud sponsor of House Joint 
Resolution 253, which designates the first week of May as Public 
Service Recognition Week.
  Today, there is much uncertainty among the public about public 
service and the people who work in government. Actually, public service 
is a high calling and one which permits a public official to provide a 
wide range of needed services to his or her fellows.
  All of us, at one time or another, have benefitted from the service 
of public employees. Public employees defend our Nation, enforce our 
laws, work to protect our environment, maintain vital transportation 
systems, and perform many other important functions vital to our 
Nation's affairs.
  We set aside this week to honor public servants who do both the 
obvious things and the things we may not notice, all of which make our 
lives safer, healthier, happier and more rewarding.
  Public servants deserve to be recognized and appreciated, not only 
for all their hard work, but for their unique brand of dedication as 
well. I join my colleagues in saluting public service employees.
