                       Tuesday, November 16, 2004

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker:
  Whereas, Peter and Sylvia Manasse were married in New York City on 
November 11, 1944; and
  Whereas, Peter and Sylvia Manasse have shown the love and commitment 
necessary to live a long and beautiful life together; and
  Whereas, Peter and Sylvia Manasse must be commended for their loyalty 
and dedication to their 3 sons, 8 grandchildren, 3 great-grandchildren, 
and extended family ; and
  Whereas, Peter and Sylvia Manasse have both served their community. 
Mr. Manasse represented an American trading company in Milan, Italy and 
was always active in issues of U.S./European trade as a vice president 
for some 25 years of the American Chamber of Commerce in Italy. Mr. 
Manasse helped businesses in the Italian textile and steel industries 
re-establish their export markets to the United States and elsewhere 
after World War II. For his work in the export markets, he received the 
Gold Medal of the Milan Chamber of Commerce on December 22, 1977. Mrs. 
Manasse co-founded Milan's first International School in the late 
1950's and then went on to have a successful career as a journalist for 
Italian magazines. Both Mr. and Mrs. Manasse have received the 
distinction of being named Chevalier in the Order of St. Charles for 
their services to the Principality of Monaco.
  Therefore, I join with the residents of the entire 18th Congressional 
District of Ohio in congratulating Peter and Sylvia Manasse as they 
celebrate their 60th Wedding anniversary.
