                        Wednesday, July 9, 1997

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Andrew J. Kocerka, a union 
man, a family man, and a great American from Cleveland, OH.
  Mr. Kocerka devoted his life to the cause of the common person. He 
spent much of his life defending working people. His commitment to the 
plight of ordinary individuals is reflected in his dedication to the 
United Auto Workers, of which he became president of local no. 1045. He 
will be much loved and remembered by the members of that organization.
  Mr. Kocerka is survived by sister Helen Skvarch, and brothers Jack 
and George, as well as many nieces and nephews.
