                            HON. CURT WELDON

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 28, 1994

  Mr. WELDON. Mr. Speaker, this week marks an important milestone for 
Dr. Paul Vicinanza, a distinguished gentleman from Delaware County, PA. 
His family and friends will come together to wish him well as he enters 
retirement.
  Dr. Paul Vicinanza is an individual who has been fully involved with 
the Delaware County Head Start Program for over 28 years. He began 
working with low-income families in 1965, at the beginning of his 
career. Then, under a grant from the Office of Economic Opportunity to 
the State, he became a regional Head Start training officer.
  Operated by local nonprofit organizations in almost every county in 
the country, Head Start provides a great service of educating 
underprivileged and disabled children throughout our Nation.
  Most recently, as Supervisory Head Start and Youth Program 
Specialist, Dr. Vicinanza broadened his functions to include managing 
staff and resources for both Head Start and Runaway and Homeless Youth 
Programs. As a Federal manager, he has been a leading advocate for 
children and families and for the development of effective family-based 
prevention and intervention strategies.
  Dr. Paul Vicinanza is a rare individual who has served low-income 
families in the Delaware Valley region and helped thousands of children 
succeed. I commend him for his public service and civic involvement.
