                       Wednesday, April 16, 2008

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today to recognize Daniel 
Witkowski, of Garfield Heights, Ohio, for 51 years of dedication and 
hard work for the Department of Public Utilities in Cleveland.
  Mr. Witkowski began working at the age of nineteen in June of 1956 as 
a water serviceman aid. Mr. Witkowski diligently worked his way through 
the company rank. During his time at the Department of Public 
Utilities, he played an instrumental part in completing the Futuristic 
Trunk Main Study. This study measured flow rates and crating maps for 
the division trunk main system which is still in use today. In 2003, he 
was promoted to assistant superintendent of distribution in the 
engineering section. He was recently honored by Cleveland Mayor Frank 
Jackson as one of 70 employees that has worked at least 25 years in the 
department.
  Mr. Witkowski, now 70 years old, oversees seven crews and remains 
active by doing daily operations for the division. For over 40 years, 
his knowledge and expertise has been vital to the services of the 
Department of Public Utilities.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in recognizing Daniel 
Witkowski for 51 years of public service to the city of Cleveland.
