                             FOREVER YOUNG

                                 ______


                      HON. JAMES A. TRAFICANT, JR.

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 22, 1994

  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor an outstanding 
young man in the 17th Congressional District of Ohio, Joseph S. Norha, 
Jr. Mr. Norha received the 1993 Associated Press Northeast Ohio, Inland 
District, Division V High School Football Coach of the Year. Under 
Joe's tutelage, Lowellville High School achieved its most successful 
season in 8 years. These accomplishments, in our Nation's most 
competitive region for high school football northeast Ohio, asserts 
highly of Joe's talents.
  Joe instilled in his players dedication, hard work, and ethics, 
qualities that a young person carries much further than the football 
gridiron. Joe's leadership is a shining example of the positive 
influence adults must impose on our young students. These accolades, 
for the most part, are bestowed upon veteran coaches, but the fact of 
the matter is Joe Norha is 22 years old, the youngest coach in the 
State of Ohio. May Joe be blessed with continued success, and may his 
model be one that will be followed by both young and old.

      A TRIBUTE TO ANDREW HENSHEL, MAKING A DIFFERENCE WITH VOTERS

                                 ______


                        HON. LUCIEN E. BLACKWELL

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 22, 1994

  Mr. BLACKWELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today on the floor of the U.S. 
House of Representatives to pay tribute to Andrew Henshel, president of 
the Pennsylvania Young Democrats and vice president for programs of the 
Young Democrats of America.
  In a day and age when the concepts of community service and activism 
are becoming a scarce commodity, Andrew has been and continues to be a 
dedicated citizen for both causes. During President Clinton's 1993 
campaign, Andrew earned the name ``Mr. Voter Registration'' because of 
his volunteer efforts. Andrew is personally responsible for registering 
more than 25,000 new voters over the past few years. He has also been 
nationally recognized as an advocate and campaigner for the motor-voter 
national voter registration law.
  Donna J. Campbell, Esq., chairwoman of the board of directors of the 
Pennsylvania Young Democrats states, and I would agree that our Nation 
is fortunate to have citizens of Andrew Henshel's caliber who are 
willing to share their time, talents and knowledge to assist others. 
Andrew has truly set a standard of excellence in community service and 
involvement in the affairs of government for others to know and strive 
to emulate.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to rise and join me in paying our 
greatest tributes to Andrew Henshel. I would also like to extend my 
deepest appreciation to Mr. Henshel for mobilizing a vital part of our 
society; the youth. May God continue to bless and smile on this truly 
dedicated man, enabling him to continue to encourage political 
participation and involvement among the youth of today and tomorrow. 
Thank you Mr. Speaker.
