   RECOGNIZING THE EFFORTS OF THE EMPLOYEES OF ROCKLAND COUNTY SEWER 
                             DISTRICT NO. 1

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. BENJAMIN A. GILMAN

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 27, 1999

  Mr. GILMAN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize the efforts of the employees of Rockland County Sewer 
District No. 1 in collecting over 7 billion gallons of sewerage 
annually, treating it, and returning clean water to the environment and 
the community.
  As the 106th Congress works to protect and provide clean water to the 
communities of our nation, we must not forget those who make our 
legislation a reality. Their dedication protects each one of us from 
the pollutants which threaten the health and welfare of our children 
and our families.
  In this spirit, the employees of Rockland County Sewer District No. 1 
will be celebrating ``Water Week,'' from May 2nd through May 8th, 1999. 
This event will celebrate the way people are working to protect and 
improve our water. It will provide the citizens of Rockland County with 
tours and exhibits promoting clean water initiatives; and will 
recognize those individuals who have dedicated their lives to 
protecting their community water supply.
  Once again, I would like to thank the employees of Rockland County 
Sewer District No. 1 for their hard work and continued dedication.
