                         Friday, July 12, 2002

  Ms. VELAZQUEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise to wish a very happy belated 
birthday to Eileen Counihan, born June 21, 1952, in New York City. 
Eileen celebrated her 50th birthday with family and friends in 
Yorkville and Margaretville in Upstate New York.
  Eileen is known for her loyalty to friends and her commitment to her 
family, a quick smile and a warm sense of humor. She is a dedicated, 
active member of her community, volunteering to distribute food to the 
homeless on Friday evenings and even Thanksgiving Day. On Earth Day 
this year she led a project that planted 100 trees.
  For these reasons and more I would like to extend the warmest best 
wishes to her and her family. Happy Belated Birthday, Eileen!
