                         HON. MICHAEL G. GRIMM

  Mr. GRIMM. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Eileen and Mike 
Long on their fiftieth wedding anniversary, and to celebrate the 
lasting bond of love and happiness they have shared during their life 
together.
   Mike, a born and raised New Yorker, has led a proud career of public 
service. A former Marine and New York City Councilman, he has 
unquestioningly served his country and the residents of Brooklyn. He 
continues his service today as the Chairman of the New York State 
Conservative Party.
   Eileen served the people of Staten Island and Brooklyn honorably as 
an aide to both Representative Susan Molinari and Representative Vito 
Fossella.
   Mike and Eileen were married in 1963 and are the proud and loving 
parents of nine children and seventeen grandchildren and one great 
grandchild.
   Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the 11th Congressional District of New 
York, I ask all my distinguished colleagues to join me in 
congratulating Eileen and Mike Long on their fiftieth wedding 
anniversary and wishing them fifty more.

                          ____________________
