  Mr. PAYNE of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, on October 3, Mr. Pasquale 
``Pat'' DiIanni will be honored by the Passic County, NJ, Democratic 
committee at an event being held in Hawthorne, NJ.
  Mr. DiIanni was born in Paterson, NJ. He is a longtime Clifton 
resident, having graduated from Clifton public schools. He received his 
bachelor and master degrees from Montclair State College. He taught 
junior high school science for several years. His love of the law 
became evident when he received his law degree from Rutgers Law School 
in 1957. He subsequently maintained a law practice until recently. Mr. 
DiIanni has served his community well as an assistant prosecutor of 
Passaic County and Pompton Lakes borough attorney. His civic activities 
include work with the Clifton Memorial Hospital Association and the 
Kiwanis Clubs. He has held many Democratic Party posts including 
Clifton coleader, Passaic County Democratic Chairman and president of 
the Passaic County Democratic Club.
  Mr. Speaker, Mr. DiIanni is an outstanding leader with a good sense 
of humor. He has a great love and respect for his family and community. 
I am sure my colleagues will want to join me as I extend best wishes 
and congratulations to Pat DiIanni and his family; his wife, Ludmilla; 
his children, Patricia, Denice, Diane, Richard and David; and 
grandchildren, Rebecca, Alden, Annaclair and Marcus who, according to 
their grandfather, are potential presidents of the United States 
someday.
