IN HONOR OF WEST SIDE MARKET 

HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH 

OF OHIO

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, November 20, 2008 

Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise 

today in honor of Cleveland’s West Side Market on the occasion of its 96th anniversary, 

and in recognition of it being named one of 

the Top Ten Great Public Spaces for 2008 by 

the American Planning Association. 

The Cleveland West Side Market was built 

by the City of Cleveland from 1907 to 1912 

and has since been a cultural landmark 

through which all of Cleveland’s diverse ethnic 

communities can share their culture and food. 

Throughout the year, over 100 vendors sell 

fresh, locally produced goods—including fresh 

seafood, meats and baked goods—at this 

unique fresh food market located on the corner of West 25th Street and Lorain Avenue. 

Customers from all over the Greater Cleveland 

Area come to enjoy a variety of local produce 

and traditional European, South American and 

Middle Eastern food among local retail shops, 

restaurants and apartment buildings. The 

West Side Market has long been an anchor of 

community in Cleveland—with vendors boasting stands that have been in their families for 

generations. 

Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join 

me in honor of the West Side Market in Cleveland, Ohio on the occasion of its 96th anniversary and in recognition of its inclusion in the 

American Planning Association’s Top Ten 

Great Public Spaces for 2008.

IN HONOR OF PARLIAMENTARIANS

HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH OF OHIO

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Thursday, November 20, 2008 

Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise 

today in honor of Parliamentarians for Nuclear 

Non-Proliferation and Disarmament (PNND) 

and in recognition of their dedication to educating and engaging parliamentarians around 

the world to promote nuclear non-proliferation. 

PNND is an international non-partisan network devoted to establishing channels of communication between parliamentarians around 

the world and to providing them with current 

nuclear weapons policies in order to raise 

awareness for the need to abolish the use of 

nuclear weapons. Currently, PNND’s membership consists of over 500 parliamentarians 

from over 70 countries worldwide who are engaged in nuclear non-proliferation initiatives. 

This year, PNND marked the 40th anniversary 

of the International Non-Proliferation Treaty 

with the Nuclear Weapons Convention initiative—a declaration presented by the European 

Parliamentarian section of PNND. The Nuclear 

Weapons Convention is an initiative dedicated 

to promoting multilateral negotiations that 

would lead to the elimination of nuclear weapons. I join with the members of PNND in supporting this important initiative. 

Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join 

me in honor of Parliamentarians for Nuclear 

Non-Proliferation and Disarmament, and in
