  Mr. KING. Mr. Speaker, I rise to inform the House that on Sunday, 
July 25, 1999, at 1:34 a.m., Debbie McGoldrick and Niall O'Dowd because 
the proud parents of a baby daughter, Alana Kathleen. Alana Kathleen 
weighed in at 8 pounds, 5\1/2\ ounces and is 21 inches long. The best 
news is that Alana Kathleen and her mother Debbie are in perfect 
health.
  I am proud to be able to call Debbie and Niall my good friends. Niall 
is the Founding Publisher of the Irish Voice newspaper and Irish 
America magazine. Debbie, who is clearly the brains and the beauty of 
the operation, is the Senior Editor of the Irish Voice. Niall and 
Debbie are leaders in the Irish-American community and have been in the 
very forefront of the Irish peace process.
  As happy as Niall and Debbie are over the birth of their beautiful 
daughter, I know that Alana Kathleen will soon realize how fortunate 
she is to have such outstanding parents. On behalf of myself and my 
family I wish them the very best of health and happiness.
