              RECOGNIZING THE NORWIN AREA CELEBRATION 2000

                                 ______
                                 

                             HON. RON KLINK

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 9, 1999

  Mr. KLINK. Mr. Speaker, as the turn of the century approaches, 
Americans will become more and more excited about the time in which we 
are living. A new millennium is an event which we are indeed honored to 
witness, and such an event is worthy of celebration.
  To this end, an organization in my Congressional District, the Fourth 
District of Pennsylvania, has been hard at work to ensure that the 
closing years of this century and the first year of the next century 
are welcomed with enthusiasm. The Norwin Chamber of Commerce, in 
conjunction with local schools and businesses, has arranged an 
impressive calendar of events for Celebration 2000, including parades, 
a business EXPO, and, of course, a First Night 2000.
  These events will certainly unite the people, businesses, 
governments, churches, and other organizations of not only the Norwin 
Area, but all of Westmoreland County, by providing the community with 
three years of high visibility events and activities.
  Clearly, the time and effort it takes to organize such a gala event 
is worthy of our recognition here today. I ask that the Members of the 
United States House of Representatives join me in recognizing these 
efforts. Through their hard work and dedication, Celebration 2000 will 
be a project worthy of taking place once in a 1,000 years.
