                      Thursday, November 18, 1999

  Mr. BORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise in honor of my dear friend Mr. 
Richard L. Krzyzanowski, as he retires from his position at Crown, Cork 
& Seal, where he has served many years with dedication and distinction.
  Mr. Krzyzanowski has a long and respectable history of service to the 
Polish American Community. He was born in Warsaw, and was later 
naturalized as an American Citizen. He also received education in the 
countries of France and Italy. Mr. Krzyzanowski graduated from the 
University of Pennsylvania Law School. Through hard work and loyal and 
faithful service at Crown, Cork & Seal, he worked his way up to General 
Counsel, Member of the Board of Directors and Serrate of the 
Corporation.
  Mr. Krzyzanowski was the founder of the Friends of Pope John Paul II 
Foundation, which devotes its efforts to strengthening the Catholic 
faith in Eastern Europe in what were formerly known as the Iron Curtain 
Countries. Through his diligent efforts, chapters have been founded in 
Philadelphia, West Palm Beach, Houston, New Orleans, Los Angeles, 
Honolulu, Jakarta and Singapore.
  Mr. Krzyzanowski works closely with many charitable foundations, 
including the Connelly Foundation, established by the late president of 
Crown, Cork & Seal, John Connelly, for whom his admiration continues 
unabated. He is a loyal citizen and friend to Crown, Cork & Seal, and 
America.
  Through his service at ``Crown,'' Mr. Krzyzanowski displayed the type 
of commitment and insight necessary for success, and he will be missed 
and remembered when he departs the corporation. Richard L. Krzyzanowski 
exhibits the qualities of a great American citizen, and it is the 
embodiment of those qualities which serves to make the United States 
the great country it is today. I thank him for his service and wish him 
the best of luck in the coming years.
