                      Thursday, September 30, 1999

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor of Tomasz Wyszynski 
as he is being honored for promoting his Polish Heritage through his 
outstanding accomplishments by the Polonia Foundation.
  Tomasz Wyszynski is a man of many personal and career 
accomplishments. After joining the Army, Tomasz had the opportunity to 
live in Russia, Iraq, India, South Africa, France, and England. In 
addition, he has exhibited a tremendous aptitude for languages, he 
learned to speak not only his native Polish, but English and enough 
Russian, German, and Hindi to make himself understood to communicate.
  When Tomasz Wyszynski later settled in Akron, Ohio, he joined the 
Polonia of Akron Lodge and took his first position as a Trustee. Soon 
after, he developed an interest in insurance sales to assist others in 
providing necessities and security.
  Tomasz Wyszynski has been a tireless worker, coordinator, and 
recruiter for the Polish National Alliance. To date he has recruited 
over 2,000 people to the Polish National Alliance membership in 
addition to being a member since the organization's inception. His 
contributions to the Polonia Society have been continuous and awe-
inspiring, he has always been willing to help others.
  I ask that my distinguished colleagues join me in commending Tommy 
Wyszynski for his dedication, service, and leadership in the Cleveland 
community. Our community has certainly been rewarded by the true 
service displayed by Tomasz Wyszynski.
