Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize a wonderful\norganization in my district that this year is celebrating its 20th\nAnniversary, the Community Resource Center located in Mamaroneck, New\nYork.\n  The mission of CRC is today more important than ever. Formerly the\nHispanic Resource Center, it is a 501(c)(3) community-based\norganization founded in 1998 to promote the cultural, economic,\neducational and professional integration of immigrants to the already\nestablished larger community. It is also dedicated to advocating for\nthose in need. CRC aims to provide the tools to prepare new immigrant\nfamilies to become self-sufficient and active members of the community.\n  Over its 20 years in existence, CRC has grown from a community\ninitiative designed and acting as a clearinghouse of information and\nreferral services, to an organization that provides comprehensive\ndirect client services and programs. The Center provides a host of\neducational programs, case management and referral services and\nadvocate for immigrants and low-income families in need. In the past\nyear, the Center served nearly 4,000 adults, youth, and children in\nthree primary areas: Case management and social services; Educational\nprograms and workshops; and Worker Center-job placement for men and\nwomen seeking employment. The Center understands that the Westchester\ncommunity is strengthened by cultural and economic diversity, and the\nwork they do in support of that cannot be overstated.\n  Mr. Speaker, the America I know welcomes all immigrants and isn't\nafraid to lend a helping hand to those in need. I am proud to represent\nan organization like Community Resource Center that provides that\nloving hand every single day. Congratulations to the entire CRC team on\n20 wonderful years serving the community, and here's to many more.\n\n                          ____________________"], ["CREC-2018-12-31-pt1-PgE1739-3", "2018-12-31", 115, 2, null, null, "HONORING JERRY FRIEDMAN'S 90TH BIRTHDAY", "HOUSE", "EXTENSIONS", "HONORING", "E1739", "E1739", "[{\"name\": \"Eliot L.

Mr. Speaker, it is an honor for me to recognize a dear\nfriend, Jerry Friedman, who this year is celebrating his remarkable\n90th birthday in addition to his 63rd wedding anniversary to his\nwonderful wife, Lillian.\n  Lillian and Jerry were married in the Bronx on December 10th, 1955.\nTogether they have two children, Lynn and Stuart, who were both born\nwhile the couple lived in Brooklyn, and now 2 grandchildren, Sophie and\nBen. In 1971, the Friedman family moved to Co-op City, which is where\nPat and I met them as members of the Co-op City Democratic Club. We\nhave been close ever since.\n  Jerry was a very active member on the Riverbay Board for many years,\nand at one point served as Vice President for three terms. He was also\ninstrumental in the rent strike, acting as an advocate for residents.\nWhen I first ran for State Assembly, Jerry and Lillian were two of my\nearliest supporters. I'll never forget the faith they placed in me.\n  Outside of his activism, Jerry is a wonderful amateur photographer\nwhose pictures have hung in the Riverdale Y and other local spots. He\nwas also very active in the Boy Scouts and over the years rose to their\nhighest office.\n  In addition, Jerry served on the Board of Visitors at Bronx\nPsychiatric Center, which provides a continuum of inpatient, outpatient\nand related psychiatric services with inpatient hospitalization at the\nmain campus.\n  Mr. Speaker, I have long cherished my friendship with Jerry Friedman\nand I count myself incredibly fortunate to have known him for so many\nyears. He is a terrific individual who has done so much to help\nstrengthen our community here in the Bronx, and I am honored to be able\nto recognize him on this wonderful occasion. Congratulations to Jerry\non an incredible 90 years.\n\n                          ____________________"], ["CREC-2018-12-31-pt1-PgE1739-4", "2018-12-31", 115, 2, null, null, "RETIREMENT OF MATTHEW PINKUS", "HOUSE", "EXTENSIONS", "RETIREMENT", "E1739", "E1740", "[{\"name\": \"Robert A.

ROBERT A. BRADY\n\n                            of pennsylvania\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                       Monday, December 31, 2018\n\n  Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I have the opportunity to\ninform colleagues that Mr. Matthew Pinkus, our Committee senior policy\nadviser and parliamentarian to House Administration Committee\nDemocrats, retired recently, concluding a congressional staff career\nwhich began as an intern in 1971 and included 19 years on our\ncommittee, the longest of the more than twenty different congressional\nprofessional positions he had held during that period, including time\nas chief legislative assistant to Rep. Michael Barnes (D) of Maryland\nfor the congressman's entire tenure in the House.\n  Whether working in House leadership, on five different congressional\ncommittees and in Members' offices, Matt excelled in a huge variety of\ntasks. A summer college job as a congressional intern in the House for\nRep. Benjamin Rosenthal of New York while attending Brandeis University\nprompted Matt to leave graduate school at U.C. Berkeley after receiving\nan M.A. in political science and work in Washington full time, first at\nCongressional Quarterly, then for a month in the Senate, and then the\nremaining decades in the House. He said of that path, ``I decided very\nearly on that, as much as possible, I would do things the way I wanted\nand try to have fun. Usually, that worked.''\n  Matt had an eclectic career path since his first full-time job here\nin 1976, when he left a political reporting job at Congressional\nQuarterly. He often chose to seek work in specific subject areas which\ninterested him, rather than follow the common alternate staff career\npath of attaching himself to one or two members and remaining in place.\nHe was first appointed to the Committee on House Administration\nDemocratic staff in 1991 by Rep. Sam Gejdenson of Connecticut to work\non campaign finance reform, and then moved on to the Brookings\nInstitution as a guest scholar on their ``Renewing Congress'' project\nbefore returning to the House in 1995 to work on oversight of the\nexecutive branch at the Committee on Government Reform. Between Hill\njobs in the 1990s, Matt had finished writing a book for Congressional\nQuarterly in 1998, How Congress Works, and was ready to once again\nreturn to the House. Then-House Administration Ranking Member Gejdenson\nasked him to work on election contests, and he remained here to work\nsequentially for Ranking Members Hoyer, Larson and Chairwoman\nMillender-McDonald.\n  Matt was probably best known on the Hill as one of the top experts on\nrules and process, serving on the Rules Committee staff and twice on\nthe Subcommittee on Rules of the House, including as subcommittee staff\ndirector. His most distinctive job was as parliamentarian of the House\nDemocratic Caucus for six years, which recognized and utilized his vast\nknowledge of the Caucus rules. It was a position created especially for\nhim and lasted through the service of Chairmen Robert Menendez, Jim\nClyburn, Rahm Emanuel and John Larson--all while he also worked\nsimultaneously on the House Administration Committee. He was known for\nalways being carefully prepared, totally candid, and was not\nintimidated by Members.\n  Matt was always our committee parliamentarian, managed floor\noperations, and worked on elections legislation, congressional\ncontinuity issues, and the Smithsonian Institution. He drafted and\nedited views on committee reports and other publications, and proofed\nspecialized historical books published by the House. He would discuss\nparliamentary strategy in the morning and then make an oversight visit\nto the National Zoo to learn about artificial insemination of Giant\nPandas in the afternoon, something made possible by CHA's very eclectic\njurisdiction.\n  Matt sat behind me for years on the Committee on House Administration\ndais when I was a junior member and helped provide advice on hearings\nand markups for Members but when I suddenly became chairman in 2007\nfollowing the death of Chairwoman Millender-McDonald, he was there with\nan intricately drafted manager's parliamentary script for my very long\nfirst markup. This was a totally new role for me. When I went off\nscript at some points and noticed Matt's look of concern, after\navoiding disaster, I told him that\n\n[[Page E1740]]\n\nwhile I might sometimes deviate from his text, he should just keep\nright on doing what he does.\n  Matt says he plans to travel, look for opportunities to write, and\nagain take up playing chess, which he learned at the age of four from\nhis father, AI, who was one of America's leading players in the mid-\n20th century.\n\n                          ____________________"], ["CREC-2018-12-31-pt1-PgE1740-2", "2018-12-31", 115, 2, null, null, "HONORING THE LINCOLN PARK JEWISH CENTER 80TH ANNIVERSARY", "HOUSE", "EXTENSIONS", "HONORING", "E1740", "E1740", "[{\"name\": \"Eliot L.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate one of the great\nreligious institutions in my district, the Lincoln Park Jewish Center\nlocated in Yonkers. This year, the Center is celebrating its remarkable\n80th Anniversary and I would like to take the opportunity to recognize\nthat feat in Congress.\n  Lincoln Park Jewish Center is an inclusive, modern Orthodox Jewish\ncongregation that strives to create spiritual growth through prayer,\nacceptance, community and fellowship. To achieve this goal, the\nsynagogue supports the following: HaMakom Tefilah, a place to increase\nspirituality with heartfelt prayer by encouraging personal growth\nthrough participation, self-reflection, and spontaneity; HaMakom Ahavat\nChinam, unconditional love and acceptance, regardless of background or\ncurrent level of observance; HaMakom Limud Torah, a place to search and\nstudy Torah leading to a more fulfilling Jewish life; and HaMakom\nSimcha, a place to enjoy and celebrate.\n  The congregation at Lincoln Park Jewish Center is currently led by\nRabbi Levi Welton, who was ordained by the prestigious Machon Ariel\nInstitute of Jerusalem in 2005 and has since then served congregations\nin Australia, San Francisco, and, of course, Yonkers New York. His\npastoral experiences include young professional development, inter-\nfaith work, community building and multimedia production.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a dedicated public\nservant in the Yonkers community, Dr. Andrea Coddett, who this year has\nbeen named ``Woman of the Year 2018'' by the Luther V. Garrison Sr.\nMasonic Foundation Inc.\n  Dr. Coddett is the Deputy Superintendent for the Yonkers Public\nSchools. In her role, she oversees the Division of Teaching and\nLearning, ensuring that all curriculum is aligned to the New York State\nLearning Standards and that all instruction is aligned to 21st Century\nlearning skills, so students are prepared for college and or careers.\nAs the Chairperson of the Yonkers Basics Advisory Board, Dr. Coddett\nleads a team of approximately 40 volunteer members from various\ncommunity sectors charged with saturating the community with five\nresearch-based interactive pillars proven effective in redressing\ncognitive and social-emotional inequities due to poverty.\n  Dr. Coddett began her career in education as a Special Education\nteacher after which she became a building-level Math Specialist. In her\nadministrative career, Dr. Coddett has worked as a District Math\nSpecialist PreK-12, an Early Childhood Principal, a K-5 principal, a\nDirector of Secondary Special Education and an Assistant Superintendent\nfor Instruction K-12.\n  Dr. Coddett is a graduate of Fordham University where she earned a\ndoctorate in Executive Leadership.

It is her contention that as an educational leader, she is one\nof the gate-keepers of tomorrow and believes that each and every child\ndeserves an excellent education. As a former classroom teacher myself,\nI happen to agree wholeheartedly. Dr. Coddett has achieved a great deal\nand is well deserving of this honor.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the largest co-\noperative housing development in the nation and a place that holds a\nparticularly meaningful place in my heart, Co-op City in the Bronx.\nThis year, Co-op City celebrates its 50th Anniversary and as such\nstands as one of the great housing successes in our country's history.\n  Co-op City is a New York State Mitchell-Lama housing cooperative with\napartments in high-rise and townhouse buildings. There are three\nshopping centers on Co-op City property, 8 parking garages,\nprofessional offices and a complete educational park.\n  Construction of Co-op City began in 1966 on a site that was formerly\nhome to an amusement park at which I used to work as a young man called\n``Freedomland.'' Residents began moving into the complex in 1968, and\nconstruction was completed in 1973. Co-op City is divided into five\nsections, with each section denoted by a letter of the alphabet. Co-op\nCity is managed by the Riverbay Corporation and is led by a Board of 15\nresidents, each elected to three-year terms.\n\n[[Page E1741]]\n\n  Co-op City is a special place, not just to me, but to the thousands\nof people who have had the privilege of calling it home over the years.\nI myself am a former Co-op City resident, and my family and I lived\nthere for many years. I have so many fond memories from my time there;\nfrom starting a family to beginning my career in public service, I can\ntrace so many wonderful moments and life-events back to my Co-op City\ndays. I can also trace so many wonderful friendships back to Co-op\nCity, many I still cherish to this day.\n  As fortunate as I was to have lived in Co-op City, I am just as\nfortunate to now represent Co-op City in the halls of Congress. I hope\nthat my service can in some way give back to the community that has\ngiven me so much.\n  As a part of the Mitchell-Lama housing program, Co-op City has\nprovided quality housing at an affordable rate to generations of New\nYorkers. As we celebrate its 50th Anniversary, it's important to\nreflect on just how fortunate we are to have such a strong and thriving\nhousing development in the Bronx. I'm proud to say I lived in Co-op\nCity, and I'm just as proud to still serve Co-op City today as\nCongressman.\n  Congratulations to the Riverbay Board, the entire Co-op City\ncommunity, and all the residents who have made the past 50 years in Co-\nop City a tremendous success\n\n                          ____________________"], ["CREC-2018-12-31-pt1-PgE1740", "2018-12-31", 115, 2, null, null, "HONORING CONGRESSMAN JOSEPH CROWLEY", "HOUSE", "EXTENSIONS", "HONORING", "E1740", "E1740", "[{\"name\": \"Eliot L.

Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct privilege to honor and\nrecognize the accomplishments of a dear friend, a dedicated public\nservant, and an overall wonderful human being, my colleague Congressman\nJoe Crowley. This year, the Ancient Order of Hibernians in the Bronx is\nhonoring Joe at their Annual Dinner Dance. They could not have picked a\nmore deserving honoree.\n  Joe and I go way back, starting with our days together in Albany as\nMembers of the New York State Assembly. A native of Woodside, Queens\nand lifelong New Yorker, Joe has served the people of the Bronx and\nQueens in Congress since 1998. Before being elected to Congress, Joe\nreceived a bachelor's degree from Queens College, ran a successful\nsmall business for nearly a decade and represented the 30th Assembly\nDistrict in the New York State legislature. Throughout his career in\npublic service, Joe has been driven by a desire to protect New York's\nmiddle class.\n  Joe has always been dedicated to making the Bronx-Queens community\nmore prosperous and secure. He established the Crime Stoppers program\nin 2002 to support local organizations that are working to reduce crime\nand improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods, and it has\ndelivered more than $1 million in federal funding to the Bronx-Queens\ncommunity for graffiti clean-up, after-school programming, and civic\npatrol efforts.\n  As Chairman of the Democratic Caucus, the fourth-highest ranking\nposition in House Democratic Leadership, Joe's efforts in Congress\nfocused on building strong communities, creating jobs, increasing\naccess to health care and housing, protecting seniors' hard-earned\nbenefits, and opening up educational opportunities for working\nfamilies.\n  When not fighting for his constituents, Joe can be found spending\ntime with his lovely family--wife Kasey Crowley and their three\nchildren--or playing with his band.\n  Both local and national media have recognized Joe for his effective\nand impressive record of leadership in Congress. The New York Times has\nnoted that his peers consider him to be a ``hard working\nrepresentative'' who is ``an impassioned advocate for his district.'' I\ncouldn't have said it better myself. Come January I will miss Joe's\npresence in Washington, but I know he will continue to be a powerful\nforce for good in the New York City community. Congratulations to Joe\non this honor and a remarkable career.\n\n                          ____________________"], ["CREC-2018-12-31-pt1-PgE1741-2", "2018-12-31", 115, 2, null, null, "HONORING THE COMMUNITY SYNAGOGUE OF RYE", "HOUSE", "EXTENSIONS", "HONORING", "E1741", "E1741", "[{\"name\": \"Eliot L.

Mr. Speaker, our houses of worship are often the ties that\nbind our communities together. In Rye, few institutions have been as\nsuccessful in strengthening the neighborhood and bringing people\ntogether as the Community Synagogue of Rye, which this year is\ncelebrating its remarkable 70th Anniversary.\n  One Sunday in early autumn 1948, 7-year-old Betty Wolder asked her\nparents if she could go to church with her friend Susan who was\nChristian. Her parents explained that since they were Jewish and did\nnot belong to Susan's church, she could not attend. Betty continued to\nask questions and her parents wanted to give her better answers. The\nWolders contacted the few Jewish people they knew in Rye about forming\na Jewish religious school, and a sponsoring group of families. The\nresponse was extraordinarily positive, and the rest is history.\n  A beautiful mansion--built in 1903 at 200 Forest Avenue--was\npurchased in June of 1950, and Rabbi Samuel H. Gordon, an experienced,\nwidely traveled liberal Rabbi, was hired as the first spiritual leader\nin 1950. From there, Community Synagogue grew and flourished. The\ncongregation is now around 500 families and over 300 students from Rye,\nand several communities between Greenwich and White Plains. The\nsynagogue has an ambitious education program for both children and\nadults, numerous opportunities to become involved in social action,\nbeautiful worship services, and life cycle celebrations. Their\nenthusiastic and active committees help make the synagogue a dynamic\nand caring community, and their work has grown beyond the congregation\nto serve the greater community.\n  Community Synagogue of Rye has had an amazing 70 years.\nCongratulations to the leadership and congregation on this occasion.\n\n                          ____________________"], ["CREC-2018-12-31-pt1-PgE1741-3", "2018-12-31", 115, 2, null, null, "HONORING RAY O'HANLON", "HOUSE", "EXTENSIONS", "HONORING", "E1741", "E1742", "[{\"name\": \"Eliot L.

Mr. Speaker, the importance of a free and open press\ncannot be overstated, especially in our local communities. I am very\nfortunate to represent a district that is covered by the Irish Echo, an\noutstanding local newspaper, which is led by my friend and one of this\nyear's Ancient Order of Hibernians' honorees, Ray O'Hanlon.\n  As Ranking Member on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, I have had\nthe pleasure of working with Ray for many years on a wide variety of\ntopics, including Irish-American issues which have always been\nparticularly close to my heart.\n  Ray is the editor of the New York-published Irish Echo. A native of\nDublin who worked for\n\n[[Page E1742]]\n\nthe Irish Press newspaper group before moving to the United States in\n1987, Ray has reported from three continents in a news career spanning\n39 years.\n  In addition to his work as a reporter and editor, Ray has been a\nfrequent contributor to U.S., Irish, and British media outlets\nreporting on Ireland, Irish-American affairs, and Anglo-Irish\nrelations. He has appeared on CBS 60 minutes, ABC World News Tonight,\nand the Lehrer News Hour on PBS. He has also been interviewed on RTE,\nBBC and ITV, both television and radio.\n  A prolific writer, Ray's book, ``The New Irish Americans'' (Roberts\nRinehart, 1998) was the recipient of a Washington Irving Book Award.\n``The South Lawn Plot,'' his first fiction work, was published in 2011\nby Boston-based Gemma Media publishers. Ray is currently working on a\nnew book on Irish immigration that will have a particular focus on the\n1965 Immigration Reform and Nationality Act. A graduate of University\nCollege Dublin, Ray lives with his wife Lisa, a native of Danville,\nIllinois, in Ossining, New York. They have three grown children: Kate,\nLiz and Jack.\n  Ray O'Hanlon has accomplished a great deal over a long and\ndistinguished career. He is most deserving of this wonderful\nrecognition from AOH. Congratulations to Ray and I thank him for all he\ncontinues to do on behalf of our community.\n\n                          ____________________"], ["CREC-2018-12-31-pt1-PgE1741", "2018-12-31", 115, 2, null, null, "FIXING THE HARMFUL EFFECTS OF THE TRUMP ADMINISTRATION'S UN-AMERICAN IMMIGRATION POLICIES", "HOUSE", "EXTENSIONS", "ALLOTHER", "E1741", "E1741", "[{\"name\": \"Barbara Lee\", \"role\": \"speaking\"}]", null, "164 Cong.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today as an elected representative, but\nalso as a mother--a mother who is horrified and outraged by the actions\ntaken by the Trump Administration to deliberately separate families.\n  Like any mother, I love my children and cannot imagine being\nseparated from them. But because of the Trump Administration's\npolicies, some mothers have no choice.\n  Just this week, I have been working to reunite two mothers in my\ncommunity who were prevented from reuniting with their families.\n  The first story I want to share is of Maria Mendoza-Sanchez. Maria\nhas lived with her family in the East Bay for more than two decades.\nShe and her husband Eusebio raised four beautiful children, worked\nhard, and purchased a home in Oakland.\n  Maria went to school while raising small children and went on to\nbecome a nurse at Highland Hospital. She was beloved by her patients\nand her colleagues.\n  Maria and Eusebio tried to do the right thing. They paid their taxes\nand came forward to legalize their immigration status. And for years,\nthey were on a path to citizenship.\n  But like many families, Maria and Eusebio's efforts did not matter to\nthe Trump Administration.\n  Under President Trump's misguided enforcement priorities, Maria and\nEusebio were targeted for deportation.\n  And last summer--after more than twenty years building a life in our\ncommunity--Maria and Eusebio were torn from their children and deported\nto Mexico.\n  But over the last sixteen months, we didn't give up. We kept working\nto reunite Maria with her family--to bring her home.\n  Finally, after more than a year of work, we were able to secure an\nH1-B visa for Maria. And this past Sunday, I was honored and overjoyed\nto join Maria as she was reunited with her children.\n  But Maria isn't the only mother torn from her children by President\nTrump's immigration policies.\n  Also in the news this week was the story of Shaima, whose son\nAbdullah Hassan has been on life support at Children's Hospital\nOakland, in my district.\n  Abdullah is two years old and suffers from a genetic brain condition.\nHis mother Shaima, who was born in Yemen, has been barred from\ntravelling to the United States to be with her son because of the Trump\nAdministration's un-American Muslim ban.\n  Abdullah doesn't have much time left--and Shaima feared that she\nwould not be able to say goodbye to her young son.\n  Mr. Speaker--is this really who we are? A country that denies mothers\nsafe passage to be with their dying children?\n  No family should ever have to endure this.\n  And in the face of such unimaginable cruelty, I am proud to say that\nour community stepped up. I want to thank everyone who showed up, who\nprotested and organized and petitioned for this outcome.\n  Because of your advocacy, the State Department granted a visa waiver\nto Shaima so she can be with her son. She will be able to be with her\nson, to hug him and to say goodbye.\n  But we know that there are many other people like Maria and Shaima\nwho remain separated from their families.\n  When I went down to the border earlier this year, I saw the prison-\nlike conditions that they were keeping children in.\n  There were kids sleeping on concrete floor--with only thin emergency\nblankets to keep them warm.\n  And to this very day, there are hundreds of children in HHS custody.\nAnd Secretary Nielson can't tell us when they will be reunited.\n  Let's be clear: this isn't an immigration policy. This is a family\nseparation policy.\n  Children torn from their mothers, parents deported away from their\nkids. And it's up to Congress to stop it.\n  It's past time for us to restore--justice, dignity and common sense\nto this immigration system.\n  We need to ensure kids who have lived here their entire lives--like\nMaria's oldest daughter--can make a life in the only country they have\never known.\n  We need to get this disgraceful, discriminatory travel ban off the\nbooks, so no loved one has to experience what Shaima went through.\n  We need to pass comprehensive immigration reform so that people like\nMaria and Eusebio can come out of the shadows.\n  Mr. Speaker--for every case like Maria's or Shaima's there are dozens\nmore left unresolved.\n  Countless families have been left in limbo, unsure if or when they\nwill ever see their loved ones again.\n  Not only do we owe it to these families to fix our broken immigration\nsystem--we owe it to the country and the constitution to live up to\nAmerican values.\n\n                          ____________________"], ["CREC-2018-12-31-pt1-PgE1742-2", "2018-12-31", 115, 2, null, null, "HONORING THE AFYA FOUNDATION 10TH ANNIVERSARY", "HOUSE", "EXTENSIONS", "HONORING", "E1742", "E1742", "[{\"name\": \"Eliot L.

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an organization\nthat has done tremendous work both locally and on the global stage for\n10 remarkable years now, The AFYA Foundation.\n  The vision for AFYA began to take shape in a tent in the Serengeti.\nIt was 2008, and AFYA's founder, Danielle Butin, was in Tanzania. She\nsaw a woman sitting in a tent crying, who said, ``I am a highly sought-\nafter physician from London, I took a month off from my practice to\ncome here to volunteer and work in medical clinics. But they have\nnothing . . . absolutely nothing. I cannot save children from malaria\nbecause there are no meds or IV bags of fluids. People come in with\ninfected wounds, and I have nothing to treat them with.'' In that\nmoment, Danielle was compelled to take action. She returned home and\nimmediately put her familiarity with and experience in New York City\nhealthcare to use--cold calling hospitals and asking about materials\nthat are discarded. In January 2008 she launched AFYA, which means\n``health'' or ``wellness'' in Swahili.\n  Almost immediately, hospitals started donating supplies. Since they\ndidn't have a warehouse to store the equipment and supplies, a semi-\ntrailer sat for three weeks outside her home in Westchester County.\nThese humble beginnings are what grew 10 years later into an\norganization with a staff of 14, 3,000 volunteers annually, and a\n17,000 square foot warehouse in Yonkers.\n  Today, AFYA continues to serve those in need with the same compassion\nthat inspired its vision ten years ago on the African savannah. As the\nCongressman representing Yonkers and the Ranking Democrat on the House\nForeign Affairs Committee, I couldn't be prouder of the work they have\ndone and continue to do. I want to congratulate Danielle and the entire\nAFYA team on ten remarkable years and thank them for all they have done\nto better our community and world."], ["CREC-2018-12-31-pt1-PgE1742", "2018-12-31", 115, 2, null, null, "HONORING THE YONKERS CHAMBER OF COMMERCE 125TH ANNIVERSARY", "HOUSE", "EXTENSIONS", "HONORING", "E1742", "E1742", "[{\"name\": \"Eliot L.

Mr. Speaker, I want to honor a civic organization in\nYonkers that this year is celebrating a remarkable milestone--the\nYonkers Chamber of Commerce. 2018 will mark 125 years for the Chamber,\nwhich for well over a century now has worked to improve economic\ndevelopment in the region while building and promoting the city of\nYonkers.\n  The Chamber's legacy of service began, officially, on May 1, 1893\nwhen William F. Cochran, a leading Yonkers businessman, entered the old\nCity Court Room and rapped his gavel to officially sanction what was to\nbecome a tradition to the local business community. The Yonkers Board\nof Trade was born. A number of prominent citizens, fifty-two to be\nexact, gathered to sanction what would later become Yonkers' leading\nbusiness organization.\n  A decade later, the Board of Trade continued to address issues of\nconcern and helped establish a visible and viable business community.\nIn 1903 the decision was made to form a Chamber of Commerce, and the\nprocess to make this a reality was put into place. On December 8, 1913,\nthe Yonkers Chamber of Commerce officially became the 325th certified\nmember of the United States Chamber of Commerce.\n  The Chamber of Commerce has served as the guardian and advocate of\nbusiness, and works to foster a healthy relationship with government to\nestablish programs designed to enhance business opportunities and\nattract new commercial establishments to the city. The Chamber of\nCommerce represents a diversified membership of retail, industry,\nprofessionals and service organizations, etc. from major corporations\nto ``mom and pop'' stores. Each member is treated with the same respect\nand concern, regardless of size.\n  Today, the mission of the Yonkers Chamber of Commerce ``to serve,\nbuild and promote a progressive city'' is alive and well.\nCongratulations to the entire Yonkers Chamber of Commerce Board,\nleadership, and membership on reaching this remarkable milestone.\n\n                          ____________________"], ["CREC-2018-12-31-pt1-PgH-FrontMatter-3", "2018-12-31", 115, 2, null, null, "House of Representatives", "HOUSE", "HOUSE", "FRONTMATTER", "H10601", "H10601", null, null, "164 Cong.

RODNEY P. FRELINGHUYSEN\n\n                             of new jersey\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                      Thursday, December 27, 2018\n\n  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Speaker, for the past two years, it has been\nmy immense honor to serve as Chairman of the House Committee on\nAppropriations.\n  This esteemed committee is charged with the ``power of the purse''\nunder the Constitution, and I did not take this responsibility lightly.\nIn leading this committee, I had a singular focus on ``getting our work\ndone.''\n  I am proud to say that in Fiscal Year 2019, we achieved something\nthat hasn't been done in over two decades--passing five Appropriations\nbills ahead of the end of the fiscal year.\n  This is not a remarkable feat nor one that deserves applause. But it\nis historic, and it signifies that we were able to do what the American\npeople sent us here to do: govern responsibly. This was a critical step\nin returning to the regular federal funding process.\n  These bills, which fund 75 percent of the federal government,\nincluded full funding for the Department of Defense and critical\nnational security programs.\n  My deepest devotion has always been to our men and women in uniform,\nall volunteers--to ensure they have the resources they need to fight\nand succeed in our missions. For their service and sacrifice, they must\nknow they have the full support of the government behind them. I am\nproud to say we achieved that, providing stability and predictability\nwhere there had been none for many years. And we were able to provide\nhistoric levels of funding for the care of our veterans who have served\nour nation.\n  Prior to this year, we laid the groundwork for this relative success.\nIn Fiscal Year 2018, we passed all 12 bills in record time through\n``regular order,'' and three Disaster Supplemental Appropriations\nbills, historic in scope, to help our fellow citizens in their times of\nneed.\n  It is the duty of Congress to help communities and families recover\nin times of great tragedy and emergencies, and the Appropriations\nCommittee was consistently able to respond quickly and get resources\ninto the hands of many communities, states, and regions of our nation.\n  We achieved this all through an open and transparent process. Over\nthe past two years, we held 160 oversight and budget hearings, received\nand considered tens of thousands of requests from members, and brought\nmany bills to the floor under an open amendment process. Of this, the\ncommittee should be very proud.\n  One of the hallmarks of the committee is the collegiality and\nbipartisan spirit in which our members work. Although we did not agree\non everything, we all have great respect for the committee and our\nConstitutional duty to fund the government. Working in this manner best\nserves our districts, our states, and our country.\n  I owe a debt of gratitude to my colleagues on the Committee,\nespecially the Subcommittee Chairs and Ranking Members, for their work\nover the past two years. They have fought ferociously for their\npriorities, and their intentions have always been to make this nation a\nbetter place to live and work:\n  The Ranking Member of the full committee and the State and Foreign\nOperations Subcommittee, and incoming Chairwoman, Mrs. Lowey of New\nYork.\n  The Chairwoman of the Defense Subcommittee and incoming full\ncommittee Ranking Member, Ms. Granger of Texas.\n  The Ranking Member of the Defense Subcommittee, Mr. Visclosky of\nIndiana.\n  The Chairman of the Agriculture Subcommittee, Mr. Aderholt of\nAlabama.\n  The Ranking Member of the Agriculture Subcommittee, Mr. Bishop of\nGeorgia.\n  The Chairman of the Commerce, Justice, Science Subcommittee, Mr.\nCulberson of Texas.\n  The Ranking Member of the Commerce, Justice, Science Subcommittee,\nMr. Serrano of New York.\n  The Chairman of the Energy and Water Subcommittee, Mr. Simpson of\nIdaho.\n  The Ranking Member of the Energy and Water Subcommittee, Ms. Kaptur\nof Ohio.\n  The Chairman of the Financial Services Subcommittee, Mr. Graves of\nGeorgia.\n  The Ranking Member of the Financial Services Subcommittee, Mr.\nQuigley of Illinois.\n  The Chairman of the Homeland Security Subcommittee, Mr. Yoder of\nKansas.\n  The Ranking Member of the Homeland Security Subcommittee, Ms. Roybal-\nAllard of California.\n  The Chairman of the Interior Subcommittee, Mr. Calvert of California.\n  The Ranking Member of the Interior Subcommittee, Ms. McCollum of\nMinnesota.\n  The Chairman of the Labor, Health and Human Services, and Education\nSubcommittee, Mr. Cole of Oklahoma.\n  The Ranking Member of the Labor, Health and Human Services, and\nEducation Subcommittee, Ms. DeLauro of Connecticut.\n  The Chairman of the Legislative Branch Subcommittee, Mr. Fortenberry\nof Nebraska.\n  The Ranking Member of the Legislative Branch Subcommittee, Mr. Ryan\nof Ohio.\n  The Chairman of the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs\nSubcommittee, Mr. Carter of Texas.\n  The Ranking Member of the Military Construction and Veterans Affairs\nSubcommittee, Ms. Wasserman Schultz of Florida.\n  The Chairman of the State and Foreign Operations Subcommittee and\nChairman Emeritus, Mr. Rogers of Kentucky.\n  The Chairman of the Transportation, Housing and Urban Development\nSubcommittee, Mr. Diaz-Balart of Florida, and\n  The Ranking Member of the Transportation, Housing and Urban\nDevelopment Subcommittee, Mr. Price of North Carolina.\n  And the 27 other members who served the House Appropriations\nCommittee in the 115th Congress with honor and dedication.\n  The committee would not have achieved all we did without the work of\nour faithful staff. These men and women spent countless hours--\nsacrificing time with their families, including holidays--preparing for\nmany public hearings and shepherding our legislation to the House floor\nand to passage. I cannot thank them enough for their time, energy, and\nprofessional expertise:\n\n                         From our front office\n\n  Nancy Fox, Staff Director; Maureen Holohan, Shannon O'Keefe, Jennifer\nHing, Jason Gray, Marta Hernandez, Tammy Hughes, Rachel Kahler, Parker\nVan de Water, Tom Doelp, and the late Stephen Sepp.\n\n             The Majority's subcommittee professional staff\n\n  Tom O'Brien, Andrew Cooper, Justin Masucci, John Martens, Jeff\nAshford, Leslie Albright, Colin Samples, Taylor Kelly, Jennifer Miller,\nWalter Hearne, Brooke Boyer, BG Wright, Allison Deters, Sherry Young,\nMatt Bower.\n  Jackie Ripke, Hayden Milberg, Bill Adkins, Barry Walker, Angie\nGiancarlo, Loraine Heckenberg, Perry Yates, Amy Murphy, Dena Baron,\nAriana Sarar, Marybeth Nassif, Brad Allen, Donna Shahbaz, Kris Mallard,\nLaura Cylke, Robert Joachim.\n  Dave Roth, Darren Benjamin, Betsy Bina, Jaclyn Kilroy, Kristin\nRichmond, Susan Ross, Jennifer Cama, Justin Gibbons, Karyn Richman,\nLori Bias, Jennifer Panone, Tim Monahan, Sue Quantius, Sarah Young,\nKiya Batmanglidj.\n  Tracey Russell, Craig Higgins, Susan Adams, David Bortnick, Winnie\nChang, Dean Koulouris, Clelia Alvarado, Doug Disrud, Cheryle Tucker,\nCarl Barrick, Jennifer Hollrah, Matt Anderson.\n\n                          And in the minority\n\n  Shalanda Young, Staff Director; Chris Bigelow; Bob Bonner, Martha\nFoley, Steve Marchese, Joe Carlile, Matt Washington, Matthew Smith,\nDarek Newby, Erin Kolodjeski, Becky Leggieri, David Reich.\n  Angela Ohm, Stephen Steigleder, Lisa Molyneux, Rita Culp, Jocelyn\nHunn, Robin Juliano, Adam Berg, Jennifer Chartrand, Jaime Shimek, Evan\nHollander, Jeri Sparling, Tom Tucker.\n  I salute each and every member of the Professional Staff of the House\nAppropriations Committee--who are truly the unsung heroes of Congress.\n  My father, a former Member of Congress himself, reminded me often\nthat as Members of Congress, we are temporary stewards of the public\ntrust.

RAUL RUIZ\n\n                             of california\n\n                    in the house of representatives\n\n                      Saturday, December 22, 2018\n\n  Mr. RUIZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the thirtieth\nanniversary of Lideres Campesinas and to congratulate the incredible\nwomen of the Coachella Valley who founded it.\n  For three decades, Lideres Campesinas has empowered farm working\nwomen across California to advocate for themselves, their families, and\ntheir communities in a struggle for equality.\n  I was 16 when Lideres Campesinas was founded by friends and neighbors\nI've known my whole life.\n  These were women who looked out for me and fed me tamales.\n  One of the members even gave me the affectionate nickname, ``mi\nchaparrito,'' Mexican slang for short guy.\n  Actually, she still calls me chaparrito.\n  These women have deep connections to our community, but as\nfarmworkers, they endure many hardships.\n  Farmworkers don't share the same protections under our labor laws,\nand they often face difficult working conditions and wage\ndiscrimination.\n  On top of that, women farmworkers face higher rates of domestic\nviolence and sexual assault, and a severe lack of legal resources and\nwomen's health services.\n  The founders of Lideres Campesinas experienced those hardships\nfirsthand, so to fight for themselves and their community, they decided\nto organize.\n  Maria Aguirre Rosales De Banuelos was one of those founders.\n  Maria migrated to the U.S. in 1977, and she held a demanding\nagricultural job for twenty years.\n  After being trapped in an abusive marriage for most of her life,\nMaria met with some of her farmworking neighbors in the Coachella\nValley.\n  In that room, she realized she was not alone: many of the women she\nspoke to had also experienced domestic abuse, and like her, finally\nfelt the freedom to share their experiences with others.\n  That realization gave Maria the strength to free herself from an\nabusive relationship, and to help create an organization that would\nconnect and empower women in the Coachella Valley.\n  That's how Lideres Campesinas was born.\n  Out of community.\n  Out of compassion.\n  And those are the values to which it has stayed true.\n  Lideres Campesinas has since grown to include chapters across\nCalifornia.\n  By providing women with health education services, they are helping\nwomen live healthy and productive lives.\n  By educating their communities about workplace harassment and labor\nexploitation, they have helped women stand up for their rights.\n  And by connecting women with legal and social services, they have\nhelped women remedy the discrimination they face.\n  Maria Aguirre passed away earlier this year, but she will forever be\nremembered as an empathetic, kind-hearted leader of our community.\n  To the women of Lideres Campesinas, thank you for your service to our\ncommunity.\n  A todas las mujeres de Lideres Campesina, gracias por su servicio a\nnuestras communidades."]], "truncated": false, "filtered_table_rows_count": 60690, "expanded_columns": [], "expandable_columns": [], "columns":
