                       WATERFRONT PARK DEDICATED

                                 ______


                         HON. ROMANO L. MAZZOLI

                              of kentucky

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 29, 1994

  Mr. MAZZOLI. Mr. Speaker, I delivered the following remarks at the 
ground breaking celebration for phase one of the Waterfront Park being 
constructed in Louisville, KY, my congressional district. At this time, 
I wish to submit my remarks for the Record:

       I am proud to be here today to participate in the ground 
     breaking for one of the most exciting projects in this 
     community today--our beautiful new Waterfront Park.
       One of the most rewarding aspects of my years of service in 
     Congress has been assisting in the revitalization of the 
     Waterfront.
       Since I have worked particularly closely with the Belvedere 
     Connector Project, it is gratifying to me to know that we 
     will have another ribbon cutting ceremony for the Connector 
     next spring.
       It is rewarding to work on projects like the Waterfront 
     Master plan and the Belvedere Connector, to see them start 
     out as ideas, and then become sketches and drawings on paper, 
     and then move to concrete reality.
       People tend to lose sight of the fact that the Belvedere 
     Connector and Waterfront Park are much more than bricks and 
     mortar. They are people places, full of activity and fun. 
     Best of all, they offer us all an opportunity to enjoy the 
     beauty of the Ohio River and its connection to our community 
     in ways never before possible.
       All of these Waterfront projects establish linkages to the 
     Ohio River--and few projects will accomplish that better, 
     both symbolically and physically, than this new Waterfront 
     Park.
       My hope and belief is that, for many generations to come, 
     the Louisville Waterfront will be a place of celebration for 
     the entire community.

                          ____________________
