                       SALUTE TO JOSEPH CERTAINE

                                 ______


                        HON. THOMAS M. FOGLIETTA

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 28, 1994

  Mr. FOGLIETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise on this occasion to salute Joseph 
Certaine, who this week was appointed managing director of the city of 
Philadelphia by Mayor Ed Rendell. Joe has long served the citizens of 
Philadelphia, and prides himself on his relationship with the 
community. Joe learned the importance of constituent services on the 
front line, serving as a block captain in west Philadelphia during the 
1970's, and has carried that understanding with him throughout his 
career, serving in various posts under Mayors William Green and W. 
Wilson Goode. In his new position, he will be in charge of the 
departments of human services, police, fire, streets, recreation, 
water, and licenses and inspections.
  Joe Certaine is one of the best hands on managers in the city of 
Philadelphia, and the thought of having him in charge of city services 
will allow each and every Philadelphian to sleep a little bit more 
soundly at night.
