  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Reverend 
Monsignor Leo Telesz as he is being recognized by the Polonia 
Foundation of Ohio, Inc. for promoting his Polish Heritage through his 
accomplishments.
  In 1988, Reverend Monsignor Leo Telesz was named Prelate of Honor by 
His Holiness Pope John II, receiving the title of Reverend Monsignor. 
In addition, he has time to serve as chaplain of Polish Army Veterans 
Post #1 and #2 as well as the Polish Legion of American Veterans, G 
Washington Post.
  Reverend Monsignor has been blessed with the unique gift of being 
able to touch the lives of all he encounters. Through his tireless 
compassion for others he has been able to assist the needs of many 
throughout his pastoral vocation. The City of Cleveland is quite 
grateful to him for his devotion to his duties.
  My fellow colleagues, please join me in honoring Reverend Monsignor 
Leo Telesz for his achievements in the City of Cleveland.
