                        Friday, October 13, 1995

  Mr. KENNEDY of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay 
tribute and to congratulate Mayor Emeritus Al Vellucci of the city of 
Cambridge for a lifetime of outstanding service. On Sunday, October 15, 
1995 Mayor Vellucci will be presented with a memorial statue in 
recognition of his outstanding contributions to the Portuguese-American 
community of Cambridge.
  Over the years, Al has served as school committeeman, city councilor, 
and as mayor. During his four terms as mayor, Al exemplified the spirit 
of passion and commitment to the community he served. He has worked 
very hard to bring together the people of Cambridge and has achieved an 
impeccable record. The residents of Cambridge are fortunate to have Al, 
who gives so much of himself because of the love and pride he has for 
the community. I applaud his extraordinary service and efforts.
  This is a most deserved tribute and I wish him all the best on his 
day of recognition. May he continue to serve the community of Cambridge 
for many years to come.
