                        HONORING MARTIN PASSANTE

                                 ______


                        HON. MAURICE D. HINCHEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 20, 1994

  Mr. HINCHEY. Mr. Speaker, it is a distinct honor to join with my 
friends at the Community Resource Center in Sullivan County, NY, in 
recognizing Martin Passante for the considerable contributions he has 
made to the life of our community. Marty's dedication and commitment to 
employing individuals with mental retardation and developmental 
disabilities has served as an inspiration to many other employers in 
Sullivan County. His example has led the way in spearheading a movement 
to most effectively mainstream a challenged population into the 
community at large.
  Not only has Marty extended a helping hand to individuals with mental 
and physical challenges, he has used his business to support a wide 
range of organizations and causes that play a vital role in Sullivan 
County. His civic commitment is almost unparalleled--the hospital, fire 
department, ambulance corps, scouting and the little league have all 
been recipients of his largesse.
  It is with great enthusiasm that I ask my colleagues to join me in 
congratulating Martin Passante on the award he is receiving from the 
Community Resource Center of Sullivan County.
