  Mr. PASCRELL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Dr. Ciro 
Giuseppe Randazzo, for receiving the prestigious Federazione Siciliana 
Del New Jersey ``Trinacria D'Oro'' Award and for his contributions to 
the State of New Jersey. As a distinguished medical professional, 
professor, and lecturer, Dr. Randazzo has dedicated his life to 
bettering the lives of others.
  Dr. Randazzo graduated from John's Hopkins University in 1997, 
receiving his Bachelor's degree in Biology. Not stopping there, Dr. 
Randazzo went on to receive both his Master's in Public Health and 
Doctor of Medicine from the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New 
Jersey.
  Upon graduation, Dr. Randazzo started as an intern and ultimately 
became a fellow at the Thomas Jefferson University Hospital in 
Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.
  Currently, Dr. Randazzo serves as an Assistant Professor at Thomas 
Jefferson Medical College. Dr. Randazzo also serves as the Division 
Director for Neurology at the Thomas Jefferson Medical.
  Dr. Randazzo is a distinguished lecturer and has been invited to 
speak on numerous occasions regarding pressing neurological issues and 
breakthroughs. He is also a published author and a well respected 
resource on neurological issues throughout his profession.
  On March 11, 2012, Dr. Randazzo will be receiving the Federazione 
Siciliana Del New Jersey ``Trinacria D'Oro'' Award. This award is the 
Federazione Siciliana Del New Jersey's highest honor.
  Federazione Siciliana Del New Jersey is a non-profit organization 
based in Bergen County, New Jersey. They aim to promote a harmonious 
relationship between the Region of Sicily and the State of New Jersey. 
As the proud Chair of the Italian-American Congressional Delegation, it 
is a great honor to recognize Dr. Randazzo and Federazione Siciliana 
Del New Jersey.
  Dr. Randazzo and Federazione Siciliana Del New Jersey are shining 
examples of the continued contributions Italian-Americans make in 
communities in the State of New Jersey and throughout the country.
  The job of a United States Congressman involves much that is 
rewarding, yet nothing compares to recognizing and commemorating the 
achievements of individuals like Dr. Ciro Giuseppe Randazzo.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join our colleagues, Dr. Randazzo's 
family and friends, all those whose lives he touched, and me, in 
recognizing Dr. Ciro Giuseppe Randazzo.
