                        HON. PATRICK J. TOOMEY 

                            of Pennsylvania

                         Tuesday, May 18, 1999 

  Mr. TOOMEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to deliver my Report from 
Pennsylvania. Today, I would like to share with my colleagues and the 
American people the remarkable efforts of individuals in Schnecksville, 
Pennsylvania. 
  All across the Lehigh Valley, my wife, Kris, and I meet so many 
wonderful people. We learn of and hear about amazing individuals who 
strive day and night to make our communities better places to live. 
  I like to call these individuals Lehigh Valley Heroes. Lehigh Valley 
Heroes make a difference by helping their friends and neighbors. 
  Mr. Speaker, everyone involved with the Schnecksville Community Fire 
Company are Lehigh Valley Heroes. 
  This weekend, the Schnecksville Fire Company will celebrate 75 years 
of service to their community. For this reason, I would like to commend 
and applaud their efforts--both past and present--in making our 
community a better place.
