                         Tuesday, June 20, 2017

  Mr. FRANCIS ROONEY of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in 
recognition of Jeffrey Passantino, who was drafted by the Chicago Cubs 
in the 2017 Major League Baseball draft. Passantino is an alumnus of 
Bishop Verot High School in Fort Myers, and most recently played at 
Limpscomb University.
  This season at Limpscomb, Jeffrey had a 4-3 record with a 3.09 Earned 
Run Average and 95 strikeouts. During his career at Bishop Verot, he 
helped lead the Vikings to three straight state title appearances, 
which included one championship in 2011. It was during this time that 
he also posted an impressive 22-4 record on the mound.
  I would like to congratulate Jeffrey for his hard-work, dedication, 
and leadership on and off the field. I look forward to hearing about 
his future accomplishments.
