                         HON. STEVE R. ROTHMAN

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 12, 1997

  Mr. ROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Frank Visaggio, who 
was selected to represent the United States in Taekwon Do's 1997 World 
Championships.
  A team of six men and six women will compete against over 30 
countries this July in St. Petersburg, Russia. The team competition 
includes four events: sparring, breaking, patterns, and team patterns.
  Mr. Visaggio of Seacaucus, NJ, has been training in Taekwon Do for 15 
years. He is the New Jersey State director of the International Taekwon 
Do Association, and is owner and head instructor of the Meadowlands 
Academy of Martial Arts.
  Mr. Speaker, I urge you and all of our colleagues to join me in 
commending Frank Visaggio on all of his worthy accomplishments. I wish 
Frank and his teammates the best of luck in this summer's competition.
