                        Tuesday, March 14, 2000

  Mr. NEY. Mr. Speaker, I commend and submit the following article to 
my colleagues:
  Anthony Gentile has spent his life serving people. In 1965 he 
traveled to nine countries in Europe with Ohio Governor Jim Rhodes on a 
trade mission and was honored with an Executive Order of Ohio 
Commodore. In 1967, he was named ``Citizen of the Year'' by the 
Wintersville, Ohio Chamber of Commerce. Also that year, he was one of 
forty-two American Delegates to the Fifth International Mining Congress 
held in the Soviet Union. In 1977, he was the recipient of an honorary 
degree ``Doctor of Humane Letters'' by the Franciscan University of 
Steubenville as well as the Conservation and Reclamation Award for the 
State of Ohio, the only award given by the Governor.
  Additionally, Mr. Gentile is a past member of the Board of Franciscan 
University of Steubenville and has served on the Board of the Union 
Bank in Steubenville, Ohio. He is currently listed in the World Who's 
Who in Commerce and Industry and Who's Who in Finance and Industry. 
Despite all of these efforts, he also finds time to devote to the cause 
of cancer research.
  Mr. Gentile is married to the former Nina A. DiScipio. The couple 
have been married for fifty-six years and have four children.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me in honoring Anthony 
Gentile. His lifelong service and commitment are to be commended. I am 
proud to call him a constituent and a friend.
