  Mr. HOEFFEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Michael 
DiNunzio, the Mayor of Lansdale in Montgomery County, Pennsylvania, on

He has a record of distinction in the community. In working to improve 
the lives of Lansdale residents, he served his community in many 
different capacities. Many organizations and programs have benefited 
from Mike's leadership.

Boroughs of Pennsylvania where he was awarded their highest honor, the 
``Outstanding Mayor for 2000'' award. Mike served as a member of the 
North Penn Visiting Nurses Association for 56 years and was president 
of that group for 25 years. He also served as the vice-president of the 
Lansdale Public Library for 15 years. For five years, Mike served on 
the executive committee of the Montgomery County Boy Scouts. He is an 
active member of the Lansdale Rotary Club. Mike is the past president 
and board member of the United Way and the North Penn Chamber of 
Commerce, which he worked with for 15 years.
  Mike DiNunzio served in the Military with distinction. He was in the 
U.S. Air Force during World War II and remains a member of the American 
Legion and Veterans of Foreign Wars.
  I have worked closely with Mayor DiNunzio over the years on behalf of 
Lansdale residents. He is an honorable and committed public servant. In 
congratulate him on receiving this award and wish him continued 
success.
