- List_of_Lenny_Skutniks abstract ""Lenny Skutniks" are notable people who are invited to sit in the gallery at a State of the Union address or other joint meeting of Congress. The moniker refers to the first such guest, Lenny Skutnik, who was celebrated for his act of heroism following the crash of Air Florida Flight 90 on January 13, 1982. Skutnik dove into the icy Potomac River, saving the life of a passenger. For this act he was commended by U.S. President Ronald Reagan during the annual State of the Union speech held later that month. Since then, the term "Lenny Skutniks" has been used to refer to individuals invited to sit in the gallery, and often cited by the President, during the speech. President Reagan's invitation, and the reference to Skutnik's heroism within his speech, may have been an attempt to include a human interest story within the speech. The practice fell out of favor during the presidency of George H. W. Bush. Bill Clinton restored the practice upon assuming the Presidency which has continued under George W. Bush and Barack Obama.".
