   DAVID HALLIWELL: AN OUTSTANDING CAREER IN SERVICE TO HIS COMMUNITY

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. WILLIAM F. GOODLING

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 19, 1996

  Mr. GOODLING. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of a resident 
of my district, Mr. David Halliwell. Mr. Halliwell is retiring from his 
position as president of the Rehabilitation and Industrial Training 
Center of York. His service as president of this organization is the 
capstone of a career of public service that has spanned 33 years at the 
RITC. Few people can boast of such a lengthy and worthwhile career of 
helping others in need.
  Mr. Halliwell's efforts have helped individuals with disabilities 
make the transition into the mainstream work force. The inclusion of 
all persons so that they can experience the benefits of association 
with their fellow citizens is an essential role that all communities 
must undertake. This is not a one-way street, however. Each and every 
person has something

to offer their community, and Mr. Halliwell has made it his calling to 
help those members of his community who might have the most difficulty 
in doing this to contribute to the fullest extent. His service to the 
citizens of York County has been unparalleled, and for this I commend 
him.
  My constituents have had their lives enriched by Mr. Halliwell in 
many ways. In addition to his activities with individuals with 
disabilities, he has been a member of numerous community and public 
service organizations. He has served as a board member of many State 
and local associations, including the Pennsylvania Association of 
Sheltered Workshops, the Children's Growth and Development Clinic of 
York Hospital, the United Way of York County, and other community 
organizations.
  Mr. Halliwell has led a long and illustrious career of helping 
others, especially those who are most in need. His commitment to this 
goal of inclusion and assimilation into the community of his 
community's retarded citizens has made York County a better place. I 
believe he has served as a role model, placing his reliance in doing 
what he believes is right to help others, rather than waiting for 
others to act. Mr. Speaker, I ask you and the rest of my colleagues to 
join me in congratulating Mr. Halliwell for the long career of public 
service he has given to York County. He is truly an outstanding 
citizen.
