                        Wednesday, March 5, 1997

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor John Borkowski, a keeper 
of the flame of Polish culture, a pillar of the community, and resident 
of the city of Parma.
  John Borkowski has earned the affection of greater Cleveland through 
his tireless work promoting Polish dance, Polish army veterans, a 
credit union for the Polish community, and Polish education.
  He has been honored widely, including awards from the Polish 
Government, the Alliance of Poles of America, the Polonia Foundation, 
and the Polish Army Veterans Association.
  John Borkowski's example illustrates that being a great American also 
means remembering and nourishing one's heritage.
