  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, whereas, Armand W. Cosenza, Jr. has been 
elected President of the National Association of Mortgage Brokers 
(NAMB); and,
  Whereas, NAMB provides invaluable services for the mortgage broker 
industry which originates more than half of all home loans in the 
country; and,
  Whereas, home ownership is at an all time record rate largely due to 
the contributions of mortgage brokers; and,
  Whereas, through his involvement in NAMB, Mr. Cosenza has been 
instrumental in shaping housing policy in this country; and,
  Whereas, Armand Cosenza was a founding father of the Ohio Association 
of Mortgage Brokers, for which he was president in 1995 and 1996 and 
still serves on the board as North Chapter President; and,
  Whereas, Armand Cosenza must be commended for his contributions to 
his profession and involvement in his community and dedication to his 
wife Judy and daughters, Denise and Vicki;
  Therefore, I join with the residents of the entire 18th Congressional 
District of Ohio in applauding Armand W. Cosenza, Jr. for his election 
as President of NAMB and in wishing him continued success.
