                      Wednesday, February 13, 2008

  Mr. HIGGINS. Madam Speaker, today I rise to honor Christopher 
Osmanski, retiring councilman from the great town of West Seneca.
  I have known Chris and his family for many years and I am proud to 
honor his dedication to effective public service for the residents of 
the Town of West Seneca. Few public officials

love their town the way in which Christopher Osmanski does, and his 
public acts have always had the intention of making life in the town of 
West Seneca better for those so fortunate enough to live there.
  While Chris's official service has come to an end, it is a virtual 
certainty that he will remain active in local civic affairs. That is a 
good thing, for the town of West Seneca is better for the active public 
service of individuals like Christopher Osmanski.
  I want to thank you, Madam Speaker, for offering me this opportunity 
to honor the public service of retiring Town of West Seneca Councilman 
Christopher Osmanski, and I hope that you will join me in offering to 
Mr. Osmanski this Congress's best wishes of good fortune and Godspeed 
in all of his future endeavors.
