                        HON. BILL PASCRELL, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, November 15, 2010

  Mr. PASCRELL. Madam Speaker, I would like to call to your attention 
the achievements of an outstanding individual, Christopher L. DiMattio.
  As co-chair of the Italian-American Congressional Caucus, I am 
privileged to offer my sincerest congratulations for Christopher's 
selection as UNICO's National President on the occasion of UNICO's 
``Meet the President Night,'' an event being held in his honor. UNICO 
is our nation's largest Italian-American service organization.
  His proven record of service to his community, faith, and strong 
Italian heritage makes him the perfect choice for this position with 
UNICO. Through his life and work, he has upheld UNICO's model of 
``Service above Self'' He has served selflessly on the leadership board 
of UNICO. He also played an important role in the Roman Catholic 
Church's Diocese of Scranton.
  His tireless work on the local level and in planning fundraisers and 
charity events has ensured that the numerous organizations he has 
served will flourish for years to come.
  All of this outstanding service has not interfered with Christopher's 
professional and personal lives as in the least. He has received 
numerous awards for outstanding performance in his role as Senior Vice 
President at FNCB Wealth Management Services. Christopher also sets a 
wonderful example as a family man for his wife, Ann and his sons Louis 
Carlo, and Robert.
  The job of a United States Congressman involves much that is 
rewarding, yet nothing compares to learning about and recognizing 
individuals like Christopher DiMattio.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you join our colleagues, Christopher's 
family and friends, all the students and athletes whose lives he has 
touched and me in recognizing Mr. Christopher L. DiMattio.
