IN RECOGNITION OF MR. JOE BISCEGLIA'S 16 YEARS OF DEDICATED SERVICE TO 
            THE MASSACHUSETTS SECOND CONGRESSIONAL DISTRICT

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. JAMES P. McGOVERN

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, July 11, 2013

  Mr. McGOVERN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of a great 
friend and a true public servant, Mr. Joseph Bisceglia, for his years 
of dedicated service to the constituents of the Massachusetts Second 
Congressional District. After 16 years as District Representative in my 
Worcester Congressional office, Joe is moving on to another position.
  Joe joined my Worcester office early in my first term in 1997. Since 
that time he has exhibited consistent excellence and shown a thoughtful 
and compassionate hand in all of his work. Joe has helped so many 
people--too many to count. I believe, and I know that many of my 
colleagues will agree with me, that constituent casework is one of the 
most important things we do as members of Congress. Whether it was 
helping a veteran get the benefits he rightfully earned or helping a 
family to find a decent place to live, Joe exemplified the true meaning 
of ``public service.''
  It will be difficult to say goodbye to such a loyal friend and 
colleague, but I am confident that Joe will continue to display his 
good humor and dedication in his new position. I know my colleagues 
will join me in recognizing Joe Bisceglia for his many years of 
faithful service to the people of Massachusetts and in wishing him and 
his family the very best in the years ahead.
