                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, March 10, 1998

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the numerous 
achievements of Peter C. Campanelli during his fiftieth birthday 
celebration. His dedication to providing vital clinical services to 
individuals afflicted with mental illness has been incomparable.
  As an adjunct professor at Rutgers and as a supervisor of students 
working towards an expertise in Cognitive/Behavioral Psychotherapy, Dr. 
Campanelli has trained a new generation to deal with the intricacies of 
the mental health field. He also organized and directed the Institute 
for Community Living (ICL), a private not-for-profit corporation, for 
the purpose of development and operation of community residences for 
the mentally ill within the catchment areas of two large state 
psychiatric hospitals. ICL currently provides approximately five 
hundred and sixty residential beds within various levels of care. It is 
clear that Dr. Campanelli strives to provide vital services to a 
constituency desperate for health and social services.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in congratulating Dr. Peter C. Campanelli 
on his fiftieth birthday and thank him for sowing the seeds for others 
in our community to follow in his footsteps and provide the needed 
services for those who live there.
