  Mr. KATKO. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor the career of Patrick 
Costello, an essential member of the International Brotherhood of 
Electrical Workers (IBEW) Local Union No. 43.

Electrical Workers for 42 years, and has spent several years as an 
Officer. Throughout his career, Mr. Costello has held the positions of 
Executive Board member, Vice President, President, Assistant Business 
Manager and Business Manager. Mr. Costello has been a staunch supporter 
and voice for the hardworking men and women of IBEW during his career.
  As an involved and active member of his community, Mr. Costello 
currently serves as President of the AFL-CIO Central New York Labor 
Council, and is a board member of the American Heart Association, the

Brotherhood of Electrical Workers and for his active involvement 
throughout New York's 24th Congressional District, and wish him the 
very best in his well-deserved retirement.
