  Mr. HOEFFEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Daniel L. 
Woodall for being honored with the Unico Gold Medal of Achievement 
Award. Dan was chosen for his special contributions to humanity by the 
Philadelphia Chapter of UNICO. I am pleased to acknowledge his 
outstanding accomplishments.
  Mr. Woodall began his association with Laborers' Local 135 in 1970 
and has been active in many positions in the union. One of Dan's first 
leadership positions was in 1978 when he served as a delegate to the 
Philadelphia Laborers' District Council where currently he serves as 
the President. He has served as Trustee and Co-Chair for the Laborers' 
District Council Construction Industry Pension Fund and the Laborers' 
Education and Training/Apprenticeship Fund. He has also been Co-
Chairman of the Chester and Montgomery County Building Trades Committee 
and was elected Alternate Vice-President for the Laborers' Eastern 
Pennsylvania States AFL-CIO. In 1999, Mr. Woodall was appointed by 
Governor Ridge to the Pennsylvania State Apprenticeship and Training 
Council, and currently serves on the Montgomery County Work Force and 
Investment Board for the Training and Employment Program.
  Mr. Woodall is also involved in a variety of civic and charitable 
events in the local community. Some of his activities include raising 
funds for the Cerebral Palsy Labor All-Star Classic and participating 
in events for the Boys Town of Italy and Unico Salute to Labor. In 
short, Dan not only contributes significantly in the labor movement but 
is also a man of action and integrity in his community.
  The Philadelphia Chapter of UNICO has wisely chosen Dan Woodall as 
the recipient of this award. Dan is truly a man who espouses quality 
union leadership, civic endeavors, family harmony and fits the Unico 
motto, ``Service Above Self.''
