  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I would like to pay tribute to an 
outstanding young man from my district, Michael J. Zalewski, who was 
recently honored for academic excellence at St. Rita High School.
  During St. Rita's academic awards banquet, Mr. Zalewski, a senior 
bound for the University of Illinois, was recognized nine times for his 
scholastic achievements. He was cited as a member of the St. Rita 1996 
Academic All-Stars, a winner of the 1996 Heeney Award, as an Illinois 
State scholar, and as a recipient of the Presidential Educational 
Award.
  Mr. Zalewski was named as a member of the Gold Honor Roll at St. 
Rita, the JETS Science Team, the National Honor Society, and was listed 
in ``Who's Who Among American High School Students.'' In addition, he 
received the U.S. Marine Corps Scholastic Excellence Award.
  Mr. Speaker, I congratulate Michael J. Zalewski, and of course his 
parents, Michael R. and Millie Zalewski, on his academic achievements, 
and extend to him, as well as the members of the Class of '96, my best 
wishes for much success in the future.
