                    PRAISING SAGE SAVOIA-DI GREGORIO

  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. PAYNE. Madam Speaker, I would like to take a moment to praise my 
district's 2019 Congressional Award winner, Ms. Sage Savoia-Di Gregorio 
from Maplewood, New Jersey.
  This award is given to youth who achieve extraordinary results in 
four different categories: public service, physical fitness, personal 
development, and geographic exploration.
  Sage was more than up to the challenge: She joined AmeriCorps and 
built outdoor trails in Virginia; she renovated museums and education 
centers in New Jersey; she helped clean and maintain a natural park in 
Kentucky; and she provided disaster relief to victims of Hurricane 
Florence in South Carolina--all this, while she maintained a strict 
workout regime every week.
  She deserves this award, and I am proud to call her a resident of the 
10th Congressional District of New Jersey.
