  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate the 2006 recipient of the National American Heritage 
Award, Howard W. ``Hoddy'' Hanna III, of Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
  The National American Heritage Award is given by the Anti-Defamation 
League (ADL). The ADL is the nation's preeminent human rights 
organization. The organization was founded in 1913 and is dedicated in 
purpose and in program to defending democratic ideals, safeguarding 
civil rights and combating anti-Semitism, prejudice, discrimination and 
bigotry of all kinds. The National American Heritage Award is presented 
to an individual or company whose leadership and character is 
demonstrated both in work and in deed. It recognizes individuals who 
embody what is best in America--justice, freedom equality and 
fellowship.
  Mr. Hanna will be presented with the National American Heritage Award 
on Thursday, March 16, 2006 at a dinner in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in congratulating Howard W. Hanna III, the 2006 recipient of 
the National American Heritage Award. It is an honor to represent the 
Fourth Congressional District of Pennsylvania and a pleasure to salute 
such a determined individual like Howard W. Hanna.
