                        Wednesday, June 28, 2000

  Mr. TOOMEY. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to one of my 
constituents, Mr. John Finnegan, Jr. Mr. Finnegan, who only moved to 
the Lehigh Valley four years ago, has displayed an extraordinary 
dedication to the people of his community. The Director of Consulting 
Services at Dun and Bradstreet, Mr. Finnegan serves as a member of the 
Board of Supervisors of Hanover Township, Northampton County. He has 
served as the chief fund-raiser for the township's bicentennial 
committee, and on its parks and recreation board. His hard work and 
diligence have made a tremendous difference in the life of his 
community.
  In addition to his civic and corporate involvement, Mr. Finnegan's 
personal actions also serve as a model for others to follow. He has 
been a coach for Little League baseball and hockey leagues, serving as 
a role model and mentor to the youth of the Lehigh Valley. Coordinator 
for his neighborhood crime watch, Mr. Finnegan has become an invaluable 
resource to the constituents of my district in the short time he has 
lived there. I applaud Mr. Finnegan for his devotion to the Lehigh 
Valley community. John Finnegan is a Lehigh Valley Hero.
