                       Wednesday, March 13, 1996

  Mr. QUINN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the distinguished 
community service of Michael R. Mulderig, a distinguished civil servant 
and Democratic Party leader, on the occasion of being named the First 
Ward and South Buffalo Democratic Association 1996 Irishman of the 
Year.
  Mr. Mulderig has served the city of Buffalo in several capacities 
under former mayor, the Honorable James D. Griffin. To that end, Mr. 
Mulderig served as the confidential aide to the mayor, license director 
for the city of Buffalo, and assistant director of stadium operations 
at the city's ballpark.
  In addition to these remarkable duties, Mike Mulderig has served 
western New York as a former president of the South Buffalo Democratic 
Association. Currently, Mr. Mulderig is the chairman of the second zone 
for the Democratic Party.
  As a fellow American of Irish descent, I truly appreciate the 
contributions Mike Mulderig has made on behalf of the city of Buffalo, 
and offer my thanks and commendation to both he and the association for 
recognizing the efforts of Irish-Americans in our communities.
  Mr. Speaker, today I join with the Mulderig family, his colleagues, 
friends, the First Ward and South Buffalo Democratic Association, and 
indeed, the entire western New York community to honor Mr. Michael R. 
Mulderig for his dedication, hard work, and commitment to western New 
York, the city of Buffalo, and the Irish-American community on his 
being named the 1996 Irishman of the Year.
