                         Tuesday, June 23, 1998

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, Virgilio and Angela Borrelli are celebrating 
fifty years of marriage. These two marvelous people met before Virgilio 
went off to serve his country in World War II. He returned in 1946 and 
began his courtship of Angela and on March 14, 1948 they were married 
in Saint Anthony's Church in Yonkers, New York.

  Angela has been active in the Yonkers Aquahung Women's Democratic 
Club as well as doing extensive charity work. Virgilio was born in 
Malito in southern Italy in 1923 and came to America in 1937. He is 
president of a construction firm and has involved himself extensively 
in the community. He is a founding member of the Italian City Club. His 
name is on ``The Wall'' at Ellis Island.
  They and their three children, Sam, Yvonne, and Margaret Angeletti, 
and five grandchildren, are celebrating this grand occasion. I join all 
who believe in love in congratulating them for fifty years together.
