                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 11, 2003

  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Lauren 
DiSano, who was selected to participate in the first-ever U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency Health Fellows Environmental Health 
Fellows class. Ms. DiSano, a resident of Warwick, RI, earned a master's 
degree in Health Science in Environmental Health from Johns Hopkins 
University in Baltimore. Ms. DiSano is one of only 10 public health 
professionals selected nationwide to work at an EPA research facility 
for a minimum of one year and address emerging public health needs from 
an environmental perspective. Ms. DiSano's focus will be Homeland 
Security projects dealing with public health and water utility issues. 
This opportunity will not only give Ms. DiSano a chance to make our 
country safer, but also to become a leader in her field. As a member of 
the Select Committee on Homeland Security, I am particularly interested 
in the work she will be doing and hope she will keep us updated as her 
fellowship progresses.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope our colleagues will join me in congratulating 
Lauren DiSano for her achievement.
