                      Thursday, September 11, 2003

  Mr. LANGEVIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Lauren 
DiSano, who was selected to participate in the first-ever U.S. 
Environmental Protection Agency Health Fellows

[[Page 21933]]

Environmental Health Fellows class. Ms. DiSano, a resident of Warwick, 
RI, earned a master's degree in Health Science in Environmental Health 
from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore. Ms. DiSano is one of only 
10 public health professionals selected nationwide to work at an EPA 
research facility for a minimum of one year and address emerging public 
health needs from an environmental perspective. Ms. DiSano's focus will 
be Homeland Security projects dealing with public health and water 
utility issues. This opportunity will not only give Ms. DiSano a chance 
to make our country safer, but also to become a leader in her field. As 
a member of the Select Committee on Homeland Security, I am 
particularly interested in the work she will be doing and hope she will 
keep us updated as her fellowship progresses.
  Mr. Speaker, I hope our colleagues will join me in congratulating 
Lauren DiSano for her achievement.
