On the recordNovember 5, 1997
it is indeed an honor to be able to introduce the newest Member of our New York delegation, Vito Fossella, who is joined today by his good lady, Mary Pat, who is here with him watching this beautiful occasion. Mr. Speaker, it is a great honor for the Staten Island population to have such an accomplished legislator join us. Vito was formerly on the New York City Council for many years. He is now going to fill the shoes of the 13th Congressional District, who was so ably represented by Mrs. Paxon, Susan, whom we all know and did such an outstanding job in the days gone by. Vito, we wish you the best of luck. God bless in all of your new endeavors.
