                     CONGRATULATING BRIAN LEONARDI

  (Mr. GINGREY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. GINGREY. Madam Speaker, I ask you and all my colleagues to join 
me in congratulating Brian Leonardi on his recent acceptance of a full 
football scholarship to Presbyterian College in Clinton, South 
Carolina.
  Brian is the 18-year-old son of my niece, Allyson Leonardi, and Ed 
Leonardi. He played linebacker for Aiken High School Hornets, and for 2 
years he and his teammates advanced to the semifinals of the 4-A State 
playoffs. Brian was chosen this year to play for the North squad in an 
annual all-star game in Conway, South Carolina.
  His parents, sister Megan and brother Danny are very proud of his 
accomplishments, as are his Uncle Doug and Aunt Cindy, but I think the 
happiest and most excited of all are my brother Bill Gingrey and 
sister-in-law Gail, who are the fortunate grandparents of this 
outstanding young man.
  Brian's Congressman, Gresham Barrett, and I join our colleagues in 
the United States House of Representatives to say Godspeed, Brian. 
Study hard and play well.
