 Mr. MOYNIHAN. Mr. President, I rise today to salute five 
extraordinary New Yorkers who, on Monday April 7, 1997, will receive

extraordinary leadership and a deep commitment to public service. Each 
honoree brilliantly exemplifies the motto of the Empire State: 
Excelsior.
  I thank the Chair, and I ask that the text of YAAMNY's citation of 
the achievements of the respective honorees be printed in the Record.
