 CONGRATULATING MICHAEL C. HOFFMAN FOR WINNING THE FLAME OF HOPE AWARD

  (Mr. TONKO asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. TONKO. Mr. Speaker, I rise this evening to recognize Michael C. 
Hoffman of Saratoga Springs for receiving the prestigious Flame of Hope 
Award from the Epilepsy Foundation of Northeastern New York. This award 
highlights Mike's outstanding dedication and commitment to the Epilepsy 
Foundation, raising awareness and funds to support the organization's 
mission of overcoming the challenges created by epilepsy and curing the 
disease.
  Mike is a successful businessowner and has worked for almost four 
decades to improve the community around him in the capital region of 
New York. Through his many impressive years as an active member of the 
Epilepsy Foundation, I am very pleased to see him receive this award.
  Again, I thank Michael C. Hoffman for his tireless efforts to improve 
our communities and congratulate him upon winning the Flame of Hope 
Award from the Epilepsy Foundation of Northeastern New York.
