                        Wednesday, June 12, 1996

  Mr. BOEHLERT. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate the 
individuals in my district who have been honored to carry the torch in 
the Olympic Torch Relay.
  These individuals have distinguished themselves in the community by 
helping others who have been less fortunate. This group combines people 
of all ages, men and women for one purpose, to help bring the Olympic 
flame to Atlanta.
  The Olympics are held only rarely in the United States. We should 
take advantage of this great opportunity to showcase true patriots of 
this country. Once again I congratulate these individuals on their 
achievement.
  The individuals from my district are: James Barefoot, Sauquoit; 
Darrell Bruder, Rome; John Cribbs, Sidney; Judith Greiner, Clinton; Leo 
Hofmeister, Utica; Carlton Jarvis, III, Barker; Jeffrey Jost, 
Wampsville; Derek Macero, Utica; Dick Mattia, Utica; Robert Merritt, 
Utica; Allen Pylman, New Hartford; Kristina Rico, Rome; Sandy Shivas, 
Ilion; James Suriano, Sidney; Russell Brooks, II, Utica; Tim Catella, 
Oneonta; Eugene A. DiFondi, Jr., Utica; Dustin Hite, Camden; Scott 
Huges, Herkimer; David Jones, Utica; Joe Kelly, Whitesboro; Ward Mack, 
Sidney; Steven Mac, Utica; Thomas Mirabito, Jr., Sidney; David Rich, 
Utica; Williams Rys, New Hartford; James Simpson, New Hartford; and Bob 
Wood, Sauquoit.
