                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 29, 2007

  Ms. SCHAKOWSKY. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize and 
congratulate Mike Joshi for running in (and completing) yesterday's 
32nd Annual Marine Corps Marathon.
  Mike is the staff assistant in my Washington, DC office. He has shown 
great focus, commitment and dedication in the months leading up to 
yesterday's marathon. Mike is such a positive presence in the office 
and he has been such a good sport . . . allowing everyone in the office 
to ``participate'' in his training by sharing stories and updates from 
his evening and weekend runs.
  I am told that when his coworkers saw Mike at mile 13 (the half way 
point), he was smiling and looking so relaxed . . . like it was mile 3, 
not 13. The characteristics that carried him over the finish line will 
continue to serve him well in the race that is life.
  Congratulations Mike on this amazing accomplishment. Team Schakowsky 
is so proud of you.
