                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 7, 2003

  Mrs. McCARTHY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise in recognition of Leo 
Toca, a highly respected and influential Vice President of JP Morgan 
Chase. Today he is honored by Molloy College at its annual St. Martin 
de Porres Minority Scholarship Dinner Dance, for being a strong 
community leader. As the Community Relations Program Manager for JP 
Morgan Chase Leo manages programs such as the Community Advisory Board, 
Baseball Is for Kids and In-Kind Donation Program.
  Leo has initiated many programs to improve the way of life in 
communities. He, along with other organizations, started the first 
childcare load program to help home-based childcare providers. Also, he 
was the first loan officer at Chase to cater to under-served 
communities while determining which mortgage producers were best for 
these communities.
  In his free time, Leo maintains his community activism in a wide 
variety of organizations. These include the Long Island Hispanic 
Chamber of Commerce, Long Island Housing Partnership, and the Urban 
League.
  I congratulate Leo on receiving this honor and applaud him for his 
dedication to our community. I thank him on behalf of the people of not 
only the 4th Congressional District but the rest of Nassau and Suffolk 
County who benefited from his hard work and commitment.
