                                 ______


                        HON. WILLIAM O. LIPINSKI

                              of illinois

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 20, 1994

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Thomas Wolski, a 
recent recipient of the Department of Human Services Distinguished 
Service Award. I wish to join the Chicago Department of Human Services 
in recognizing the outstanding service of Thomas Wolski.
  Thomas Wolski has provided dedicated service to the Department of 
Human Services and to the citizens of Chicago for the past 17 years. 
Although he is confined to a wheelchair, Thomas diligently performs the 
duties of his job, which include making certain that all the local 
Department of Human Services centers and outposts are equipped with a 
substantial supply of emergency food boxes and baby food. In addition, 
Thomas is responsible for handling hundreds of bus transportation 
requests for the Department.
  On August 12, 1994, the Commissioner of the Department of Human 
Services, Mr. Daniel Alvarez, personally presented Thomas with a plaque 
that honored his ``tireless commitment, service and dedication to the 
citizens of Chicago'' and to the Department of Human Services. Thomas 
was chosen among hundreds of employees to be a recipient of the 
Distinguished Service Award because the service he renders often goes 
above and beyond the call of duty and sets a fine example of 
professionalism for the Department of Human Resources.
  I ask my colleagues to join me as I congratulate Mr. Thomas Wolski. I 
am pleased to recognize this extraordinary young man for his 
contributions to our community and I encourage him to continue his hard 
work for many more years to come.
