  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Vera M. Andryczyk 
who is being honored this Sunday by the Ukrainian Federation of America 
for her tireless efforts as an advocate on behalf of the Ukrainian-
American community and Ukraine.
  Vera's accomplishments and advocacy on behalf of Ukraine have been 
numerous and extensive and have spanned several decades.
  During the Cold war, through her work as a member of the Human 
Right's Committee Vera was actively involved in drawing international 
attention to Soviet persecution of Ukrainian dissidents.
