  Mr. WOLF. Mr. Speaker, I would like to call to the attention of the 
House the honoring of our former colleague Ambassador Tony Hall by The 
Center for Public Justice. Tony was recently presented with the 
center's 2004 Leadership Award.
  After his distinguished career in the House from 1979 until 2002, 
Tony was named the United States ambassador to the United Nations 
Agencies for Food and Agriculture in Rome, Italy. In his time in 
office, Tony Hall was a leading advocate for fighting domestic and 
international hunger. He helped to create the House Select Committee on 
Hunger, and was a founding member of the steering committee of the 
Congressional Friends of Human Rights Monitors.
