                        Friday, November 7, 1997

  Mr. BORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of my good friend, 
Giuliano Toneatto on the occasion of his retirement from the U.S. Army 
Reserves and to recognize his contributions to his community. Mr. 
Toneatto is a man of great substance whose service to his country 
exemplified honor and distinction.
  Upon his retirement, Giuliano was given the Legion of Merit award by 
the U.S. Army Reserves. His military career has consistently exceeded 
the high standards set by the service, and his exceptional knowledge 
and expertise will be sorely missed. A U.S. Military Academy graduate, 
he continued his career in the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers and later 
received two Bronze Star medals and an Army Commendation Medal for his 
service in the Republic of Vietnam. His commitment to military 
education continued when he returned to USMA to teach honors courses in 
civil engineering.
  Giuliano Toneatto has been instrumental to the nomination process for 
candidates to the U.S. Military Academy from the city of Philadelphia. 
He is a public servant who has gone above and beyond the call of duty. 
For 10 years Giuliano has served on the 3d Congressional District 
Academy Board, which screens candidates for nominations to West Point. 
He also has served as a Liaison Officer for USMA, recruiting top notch 
nominees from Philadelphia.
  A role model for young men and women, he has provided a meaningful 
experience for many young people in Philadelphia by introducing them to 
the USMA and opening that wonderful door of opportunity of opportunity. 
Giuliano's time, talents, and energy are appreciated by the community 
and Nation. I would like to thank him for his efforts and commend him 
for his good work.
  Giuliano Toneatto has provided outstanding leadership to the city of 
Philadelphia. I am proud of his achievements and contributions to our 
country. Mr. Speaker, please join me as I extend my congratulations and 
best wishes to a truly amazing man. May he enjoy continued success in 
his future endeavors.
