 HONORING THE ARMED SERVICE ACADEMY APPOINTEES FROM BROOKLYN AND QUEENS

                                 ______


                        HON. CHARLES E. SCHUMER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 17, 1994

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize some outstanding young students from my district. They are 
among the select few who were chosen as appointees to our armed service 
academies. I rise today in recognition of Jeremy Owen Larkin and Henry 
Lee of Midwood High School who will be attending Merchant Marine 
Academy and West Point respectively; Jonathan R. Bear of Forest Hills 
High School attending Naval Academy; Matthew George Leddy of Archbishop 
Molloy High School attending Air Force Academy; John Paul Sweeny of 
Cathedral Preparatory Seminary attending West Point; Terrence Michael 
Shashaty of Bishop Ford High School attending Naval Academy; and Edward 
J. Browne of Bronx High School of Science attending Air Force Academy.
  Each of my colleagues is very familiar with the rigorous procedure 
used to determine academy appointments. Candidates must display the 
academic skills, as well as possess the character and commitment to 
succeed.
  It is encouraging to see strong determination in those who seek 
appointments. People who give so much of themselves to serve their 
country are truly an inspiration. Those selected to the academy become 
part of an enduring tradition and legacy.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope all of my colleagues will join me in wishing 
these fine young men all the best in the future. We are exteremly proud 
to have them representing and serving us at the service academies, and 
hope that all of their expectations are met and exceeded.
