                       Wednesday, August 5, 1998

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Joseph Lubrano, the 
United States Postal Service (USPS) Brooklyn Postmaster. Joseph was 
promoted to the position of Brooklyn Postmaster in December of 1997 
from his prior position of Officer-in-Charge, Brooklyn Post Office.
  I wish to commend Joseph for his efforts in vastly improving the 
quality of postal service in the borough of Brooklyn. Joseph has 
expanded passport acceptance services in the Brooklyn post offices, 
encouraged station managers to meet and greet customers in their 
stations, and increased hours of operation in Brooklyn post offices and 
substations. His initiatives and responsiveness has improved customer 
relations between postal patrons and the USPS.

  Joseph has served twenty years with the USPS. Within three years of 
his induction to the USPS, he was promoted to a supervisory position. 
Joseph has held numerous positions in customer services, including 
Delivery and Collection Supervisor; General Supervisor of City 
Delivery; Station Manager; Manager of Delivery and Collection; Manager 
of Stations and Branches; Area Manager; Postmaster of Far Rockaway; 
Senior Manager of Post Office Operations in Westchester, New York; and 
various details at USPS Headquarters and in the New York area.
  A product of Brooklyn, New York, Joseph grew up in the New Lots 
neighborhood of Brooklyn. He attended Public School 171, Thomas Edison 
High School, and graduated from St. Johns University.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I pay tribute to Joseph 
Lubrano for his commitment and dedication to ensuring quality service 
to the people of Brooklyn from the United States Postal Service.
