RECOGNIZING THE CONTRIBUTION OF DELTA ENTERPRISES IN ASSISTING THE MOST 
                 VULNERABLE VICTIMS OF SUPERSTORM SANDY

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. MICHAEL G. GRIMM

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, March 15, 2013

  Mr. GRIMM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the contribution 
made by Delta Children's Products and it's President, Mr. Joseph 
Shamie, in assisting the most vulnerable victims of Superstorm Sandy.
   Staten Island and Brooklyn were ravaged by the unprecedented force 
of this natural disaster, leaving thousands of residents without homes 
or even the bare necessities of life.
   While the damage of Superstorm Sandy uprooted the lives of so many 
it also left the most vulnerable victims of this tragic event, infants 
and young children, without the essentials they needed to provide for 
their well being.
   As a resident of Brooklyn, Mr. Shamie saw firsthand the devestation 
left in Sandy's wake, and understood that there would be a desperate 
need for child care products. Moving swiftly he ensured that Delta 
Children's Products filled this much needed gap in supplies by donating 
cribs, changing tables and infant supplies to those affected.
   Mr. Speaker, I applaud Mr. Shamie and Delta Children's Products for 
their overwhelming support in helping to protect and care for the most 
vulnerable victims of Superstorm Sandy, and I ask you to join me in 
recognizing their commitment to the ongoing recovery effort.
