                 IN HONOR OF MILDRED ALESSI MIGLIACCIO

                                 ______


                          HON. ROBERT MENENDEZ

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 26, 1995

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today before the House of 
Representatives to pay tribute to Mildred Alessi Migliaccio, an 
Italian-American who has made great contributions to American society 
through her business and community work in the city of Bayonne. She 
will be honored by the Sicilian Citizen Club of Bayonne on October 28, 
1995, at their 68th annual dinner dance.
  The Sicilian Citizen Club is a political and social organization for 
Italian-Americans. Established in 1929, it is the oldest Italian club 
in the city of Bayonne. Mrs. Migliaccio, a grandmother of three, is an 
active member of the organization. The leader of the club, Frank 
Carine, Sr., describes her as ``a warm-hearted woman who is always 
there for everyone.''
  Mrs. Migliaccio, known to family and friends as ``Millie,'' was born 
in Bayonne to Sicilian immigrants, Nicola and Guiseppina Alessi. Her 
father, one of the first members of the Sicilian Citizen Club, taught 
Millie the value of family, the importance of community and pride in 
her Sicilian heritage at an early age.
  This year is also the 75th anniversary of the Migliaccio Funeral 
Home, the business she ran with her husband, William R. Migliaccio. At 
82 years of age, Millie is still an active part of the business which 
is now run by her daughter, Carol McNulty. The Migliaccio family has 
always been community-minded and has sought to contribute to the 
vitality of Bayonne and its residents. Millie is a parishioner at the 
Lady of the Assumption Roman Catholic Church in Bayonne and a member of 
the Saint Anne Society, a women's club connected to the church.
  Please join me in saluting a lifetime of achievement and a proud 
Italian-American, Mildred ``Millie'' Alessi Migliaccio.
