                       BILLY JOEL'S 70TH BIRTHDAY

  (Mr. ZELDIN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. ZELDIN. Madam Speaker, I rise today to wish a very happy 70th 
birthday to Billy Joel, a resident of the greatest congressional 
district in America, the First Congressional District of New York.
  He has sung about Allentown; he has sung about Vienna; but he never 
forgot where he came from. It is important, whether you are in 
politics, music, or business, to never forget where you come from.
  He would sing songs about our bays, our beaches, our boaters, our 
fishermen, our restaurants, our media. He is someone who, to this very 
day, looks at Long Island as his home.
  He has a concert tonight celebrating his 70th birthday with so many 
fans.
  From everyone who lives in the First Congressional District, for all 
of Long Island, a very happy 70th birthday to a very special person.
  Happy birthday to Billy Joel.
