                          HON. JOHN F. TIERNEY

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 10, 1998

  Mr. TIERNEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to salute Ms. Heidy Perez of Lynn, 
Massachusetts who has received an award from the Lynn Hispanic 
Scholarship Fund, Inc. for academic excellence.
  I hope Heidy appreciates and is proud of her accomplishments. She has 
continually challenged herself and graduated sixth in her class. By not 
taking the easy path, she has given herself the tools to advance her 
hopes for the future. I trust that she understands the value of 
continuing her education and hope that she will continue her hard work. 
In choosing nursing as a career path, she is following her desire to 
provide care to many who need it most, and I have no doubt she will do 
so with compassion. Her dedication and commitment are to be commended, 
and I am certain that she will be successful in her future endeavors.
  Indeed, Ms. Perez has worked hard to achieve her goals. Mr. Speaker, 
I am proud to stand here to recognize the accomplishments of Heidy 
Perez, and I hope my colleagues will join with me today in wishing Ms. 
Perez the very best as she continues her education.
