   TRIBUTE TO MS. AMANDA IANNUZZI, BRONZE CONGRESSIONAL AWARD WINNER

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL F. DOYLE

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 25, 1999

  Mr. DOYLE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in praise of an outstanding 
young adult from the 18th Congressional District of Pennsylvania, Ms. 
Amanda Iannuzzi, a Congressional Award medal recipient. Amanda's 
commitment to self-development and community involvement serves as an 
inspiration to people of all ages, and illustrates the accomplishments 
that come with hard work and determination.
  Without motivation, however, hard work and determination are destined 
to remain unfulfilled ideals. Amanda's motivation breathed life into 
innumerable commendable acts. Not only did Amanda involve herself in 
volunteer work, but invested time in broadening her artistic and 
physical skills. While much of what is directed towards young people is 
prescriptive in nature, it is important to note that these acts were of 
Amanda's own design and were completed with her own resolve.
  Upon review of Amanda's achievements, one is particularly struck by 
the considerable amount of time that was devoted to obtaining this 
award. Hundreds of hours over the course of months were invested. 
Clearly, Amanda recognizes the immense value of giving one's time to 
help others. It is my hope that your actions foreshadow a life 
distinguished by the pursuit of new challenges.
  Congratulations Amanda! Best wishes to you for continued success.
