                      Thursday, November 17, 2005

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate Robert Fragasso for all of the great work he has done as 
the President of the Amen Corner.
  Over the past 150 years the Amen Corner has been a well known social 
club for businessmen and now women in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania. The 
club is known for its service to help better the community and for the 
events for its members. There is an annual dinner held to honor the 
outgoing president. This year's dinner will take place on December 14, 
2005 and will honor the outgoing president, Robert Fragasso.
  Robert Fragasso, the president of The Fragasso Group, is a certified 
financial planner. He served in the U.S. Marine Corps, graduated from 
Duquesne University, and did postgraduate work at Carnegie Mellon 
University and The University of Pittsburgh. He has recently written a 
book titled, Starting Your Own Practice, which has reached national 
recognition.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in honoring Robert Fragasso for all of the work he has done for 
the Amen Corner. It is an honor to represent the Fourth Congressional 
District of Pennsylvania and a pleasure to salute such a dedicated 
individual such as Mr. Fragasso.
