                       ASTRONAUT DAY IN THE BRONX

                                 ______


                          HON. JOSE E. SERRANO

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 15, 1994

  Mr. SERRANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to tell my colleagues of the 
wonderful visit astronaut Dr. Franklin Chang-Diaz paid to the South 
Bronx.
  Dr. Chang-Diaz is a veteran of four space shuttle flights, the most 
recent of which--STS-60--was the first joint Russian-American space 
launch.
  On May 23 Dr. Chang-Diaz visited three schools in my district: 
Intermediate School 74, Junior High School 120, and All Hallows High 
School. He gave the students of these schools an inspiring, stimulating 
presentation which I am hopeful will draw youngsters from my community 
into the fields of science and mathematics.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to offer my thanks to Dr. Chang-Diaz, to 
the principals of the schools he visited--Dr. Donald Fulton, Dr. Arnold 
Nager, and Brother Lawrence T. Murphy--and to all who contributed to 
the success of Astronaut Day in the Bronx.

                          ____________________
