  Mr. PETERSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Joyce A. Gnoffo 
of Williamsport, Pennsylvania, who has been selected as Blind Worker of 
the Year as a participant in the Javits-Wagner-O'Day program.
  Ms. Gnoffo was nominated for this honor by her co-workers at North 
Central Sight Services, Inc., which provides a variety of computer 
media to the U.S. Department of Defense and pressure sensitive labels 
to General Service Administration. Ms. Gnoffo was selected for this 
honor as a result of her on-the-job performance at North Central Sight 
Services, Inc.
  I know I am joined by many in congratulating Ms. Gnoffo in this 
wonderful achievement, and I wish her the very best of luck as she 
competes nationally for the Peter J. Salmon Award.
  Thank you, Mr. Speaker, for this opportunity to recognize and to 
congratulate Joyce A. Gnoffo.
