Mr. Speaker. I am very proud to stand in strong support of S. 254. or H.R. 1609 in the House. to award this posthumous Congressional Gold Medal to Constantino Brumidi which would be displayed in the Capitol Visitors Center. This American immigrant was the creator of some of the most beautiful works of art in the United States Capitol Building. As the sponsor of the House version of this bill and as cochair of the Congressional Italian American delegation. this is an issue very close to me. Mr. Speaker. Now. these things dont happen in a vacuum. I want to express my sincere gratitude to Senator ENZI and Senator CLINTON. to Congresswoman CAROLYN MALONEY. to Congressman JOHN MICA. to Congressman ZACK SPACE and Gus BILIRAKIS. and my very close friend
