                     RECOGNITION OF WALTER LUCIANO

                                 ______


                        HON. CHARLES E. SCHUMER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 3, 1995
  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. Speaker, one of the pleasures of serving in this 
body is the opportunity we occasionally get to recognize publicly 
outstanding citizens of our Nation. Today I am especially pleased to 
speak about so worthy and respected an individual. I rise today to 
recognize Mr. Walter Luciano.
  On a local level, Mr. Luciano is involved in a number of 
organizations. He works for the parks department as a law enforcement 
officer. He is well known in Glendale Civilian Observation Patrol 
[GCOP] as patrol captain and as an active board member. Mr. Luciano is 
also an auxiliary member of the Middle Village Ambulance Corps.
  Mr. Luciano, who held a reserve commission in the New York Army 
National Guard for almost 23 years of service was recently retired with 
the rank of captain due to downsizing of his unit. He now serves in the 
Retired Reserve. His commitment to serving this Nation is truly 
admirable; he is a model of how responsible citizens can help make 
their neighborhoods and their country safe.
  Additionally, Mr. Luciano has been noted in the local papers of 
Bayridge, and the New York Daily News for his truancy program and his 
involvement with the New York City Board of Education's Speaker in the 
Classroom Program.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this moment to ask my colleagues in 
the U.S. House of Representatives to join me in commending Mr. Luciano 
for his dedicated service. He is truly an inspiration to us all.
