                IN HONOR OF GAETANO ``THOMAS'' TRIGILIO

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, January 24, 2000

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in memory of Thomas Trigilio, 
a devoted husband, a good father, a dedicated co-worker, and a friend 
in need. You need to shake a lot of hands to know the measure of Thomas 
Trigilio.
  I was a friend of Thomas Trigilio and in that distinction I was in 
good company. Thomas was made of the stuff that so many Clevelanders 
love about their own friends and family. Name one of Thomas' qualities 
and a Clevelander would nod his or her head knowingly. He's the father 
who worked to give his children every opportunity to succeed. He's the 
husband who loved his wife above all else. He's the grandfather who 
couldn't help but spoil his grandchildren. He's the friend from the old 
neighborhood with which you could share a firm handshake and chuckle 
over a joke told three times over. He was the inventive genius who 
always looked for ways to make this a better world. Clevelanders nod 
their heads because they know Thomas Trigilio.
  To have universal qualities does not diminish the preciousness of a 
single human life. Thomas Trigilio's life was one well led--and 
precious in its priorities. Thomas' life can be characterized by focus. 
He was a man that made priorities. Thomas was wise in the priorities 
that he made. His were perhaps simple choices--but there was a wisdom 
in that simplicity. Thomas made his wife a priority. He made his 
children a priority. There is no questioning Thomas Trigilio's choices. 
That Frances, Josephine, Maria, Anthony, Limeri, Gianni, Alec, and 
Justin have countless stories to share with each in their moment of 
grief proves there is no questioning his focus. Thomas Trigilio was a 
husband, father, and grandfather. And he was good at it.
  My fellow colleagues, join me in offering condolences to the family 
of Thomas Trigilio. Let us seek to emulate his focus. Let us pray for 
his wisdom in making priorities. Above all, let us honor the legacy of 
a man we all knew, in one way or another.

                       SENATE COMMITTEE MEETINGS

  Title IV of Senate Resolution 4, agreed to by the Senate on February 
4, 1977, calls for establishment of a system for a computerized 
schedule of all meetings and hearings of Senate committees, 
subcommittees, joint committees, and committees of conference. This 
title requires all such committees to notify the Office of the Senate 
Daily Digest--designated by the Rules committee--of the time, place, 
and purpose of the meetings, when scheduled, and any cancellations or 
changes in the meetings as they occur.
  As an additional procedure along with the computerization of this 
information, the Office of the Senate Daily Digest will prepare this 
information for printing in the Extensions of Remarks section of the 
Congressional Record on Monday and Wednesday of each week.
  Meetings scheduled for Tuesday, January 25, 2000 may be found in the 
Daily Digest of today's Record.
