                       Tuesday, October 16, 2001

  Mr. WALSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a man who has 
dedicated his life to serving our nation, the 25th District of New 
York, Cayuga County, and the city of Auburn. From the day he enlisted 
in the U.S. Army, until today, as he steps down as Judge of Cayuga 
County Surrogate Court, he has exemplified nothing but dedication to 
our country and local community. I am honored to congratulate and thank 
the Honorable Robert A. Contiguglia for his ongoing support and 
devotion to our community.
  Throughout his distinguished career, Judge Contiguglia has embraced 
several leadership roles with spirit and loyalty. He has served as 
Chairman of the city of Auburn Zoning Board, Cayuga County Supervisor, 
Chairman of Cayuga County Legislature, Assistant United States Attorney 
for the Northern District of New York, and Assistant Attorney General 
for the State of New York. He has been an attorney for 45 years and 
practiced law with his father Anthony J. and brother Louis.
  Today we celebrate Judge Contiguglia's lifetime of achievements to 
express our gratitude for his 23 years of service on the Cayuga County 
Surrogate Court bench. On behalf of the people of the 25th District of 
New York, I am honored to congratulate Judge Contiguglia for his well-
deserved retirement from public life, and thank him for his years of 
service to Central New York. We wish him and his family the very best.
