                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOSEPH CROWLEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, February 12, 2007

  Mr. CROWLEY. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the 
accomplishments of one of my constituents, Jonathan Rivera of Bronx, 
NY. I wish to recognize Mr. Rivera for being named a semi-finalist in 
The New York Times College Scholarship Program. Currently a senior at 
Monsignor Scanlan High School, Jonathan has demonstrated both a 
commitment to academic excellence and to serving the community through 
his involvement in the Campus Ministry, making him a deserving 
recipient of this honor.
  The New York Times awards 4-year scholarships and mentoring 
opportunities to only 20 students each year attending New York City 
public schools. Recipients are selected for attaining high levels of 
scholastic achievement in the face of adversity.
  Madam Speaker, I join to wish Mr. Rivera best wishes and good fortune 
in his future projects.
