ELIOT L. ENGEL of new york in the house of representatives Monday, December 31, 2018 Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, it is my honor to recognize a wonderful organization in my district that this year is celebrating its 20th Anniversary, the Community Resource Center located in Mamaroneck, New York. The mission of CRC is today more important than ever. Formerly the Hispanic Resource Center, it is a 501(c)(3) community-based organization founded in 1998 to promote the cultural, economic, educational and professional integration of immigrants to the already established larger community. It is also dedicated to advocating for those in need. CRC aims to provide the tools to prepare new immigrant families to become self-sufficient and active members of the community. Over its 20 years in existence, CRC has grown from a community initiative designed and acting as a clearinghouse of information and referral services, to an organization that provides comprehensive direct client services and programs. The Center provides a host of educational programs, case management and referral services and advocate for immigrants and low-income families in need. In the past year, the Center served nearly 4,000 adults, youth, and children in three primary areas: Case management and social services; Educational programs and workshops; and Worker Center-job placement for men and women seeking employment. The Center understands that the Westchester community is strengthened by cultural and economic diversity, and the work they do in support of that cannot be over… | |||

ELIOT L. ENGEL of new york in the house of representatives Monday, December 31, 2018 Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor for me to recognize a dear friend, Jerry Friedman, who this year is celebrating his remarkable 90th birthday in addition to his 63rd wedding anniversary to his wonderful wife, Lillian. Lillian and Jerry were married in the Bronx on December 10th, 1955. Together they have two children, Lynn and Stuart, who were both born while the couple lived in Brooklyn, and now 2 grandchildren, Sophie and Ben. In 1971, the Friedman family moved to Co-op City, which is where Pat and I met them as members of the Co-op City Democratic Club. We have been close ever since. Jerry was a very active member on the Riverbay Board for many years, and at one point served as Vice President for three terms. He was also instrumental in the rent strike, acting as an advocate for residents. When I first ran for State Assembly, Jerry and Lillian were two of my earliest supporters. I'll never forget the faith they placed in me. Outside of his activism, Jerry is a wonderful amateur photographer whose pictures have hung in the Riverdale Y and other local spots. He was also very active in the Boy Scouts and over the years rose to their highest office. In addition, Jerry served on the Board of Visitors at Bronx Psychiatric Center, which provides a continuum of inpatient, outpatient and related psychiatric services with inpatient hospitalization at the main campus. Mr. Speaker, I have long cherished my friendship with Jerry Friedman and I count … | |||

ROBERT A. BRADY of pennsylvania in the house of representatives Monday, December 31, 2018 Mr. BRADY of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I have the opportunity to inform colleagues that Mr. Matthew Pinkus, our Committee senior policy adviser and parliamentarian to House Administration Committee Democrats, retired recently, concluding a congressional staff career which began as an intern in 1971 and included 19 years on our committee, the longest of the more than twenty different congressional professional positions he had held during that period, including time as chief legislative assistant to Rep. Michael Barnes (D) of Maryland for the congressman's entire tenure in the House. Whether working in House leadership, on five different congressional committees and in Members' offices, Matt excelled in a huge variety of tasks. A summer college job as a congressional intern in the House for Rep. Benjamin Rosenthal of New York while attending Brandeis University prompted Matt to leave graduate school at U.C. Berkeley after receiving an M.A. in political science and work in Washington full time, first at Congressional Quarterly, then for a month in the Senate, and then the remaining decades in the House. He said of that path, ``I decided very early on that, as much as possible, I would do things the way I wanted and try to have fun. Usually, that worked.'' Matt had an eclectic career path since his first full-time job here in 1976, when he left a political reporting job at Congressional Quarterly. He often chose to seek work in specific subject are… | |||

ELIOT L. ENGEL of new york in the house of representatives Monday, December 31, 2018 Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate one of the great religious institutions in my district, the Lincoln Park Jewish Center located in Yonkers. This year, the Center is celebrating its remarkable 80th Anniversary and I would like to take the opportunity to recognize that feat in Congress. Lincoln Park Jewish Center is an inclusive, modern Orthodox Jewish congregation that strives to create spiritual growth through prayer, acceptance, community and fellowship. To achieve this goal, the synagogue supports the following: HaMakom Tefilah, a place to increase spirituality with heartfelt prayer by encouraging personal growth through participation, self-reflection, and spontaneity; HaMakom Ahavat Chinam, unconditional love and acceptance, regardless of background or current level of observance; HaMakom Limud Torah, a place to search and study Torah leading to a more fulfilling Jewish life; and HaMakom Simcha, a place to enjoy and celebrate. The congregation at Lincoln Park Jewish Center is currently led by Rabbi Levi Welton, who was ordained by the prestigious Machon Ariel Institute of Jerusalem in 2005 and has since then served congregations in Australia, San Francisco, and, of course, Yonkers New York. His pastoral experiences include young professional development, inter- faith work, community building and multimedia production. Additionally, Rabbi Welton is the Founder of the Torah Values Network, a staff writer for New York Jewish … | |||

Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a dedicated public servant in the Yonkers community, Dr. Andrea Coddett, who this year has been named ``Woman of the Year 2018'' by the Luther V. Garrison Sr. Masonic Foundation Inc. Dr. Coddett is the Deputy Superintendent for the Yonkers Public Schools. In her role, she oversees the Division of Teaching and Learning, ensuring that all curriculum is aligned to the New York State Learning Standards and that all instruction is aligned to 21st Century learning skills, so students are prepared for college and or careers. As the Chairperson of the Yonkers Basics Advisory Board, Dr. Coddett leads a team of approximately 40 volunteer members from various community sectors charged with saturating the community with five research-based interactive pillars proven effective in redressing cognitive and social-emotional inequities due to poverty.

ELIOT L. ENGEL of new york in the house of representatives Monday, December 31, 2018 Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the largest co- operative housing development in the nation and a place that holds a particularly meaningful place in my heart, Co-op City in the Bronx. This year, Co-op City celebrates its 50th Anniversary and as such stands as one of the great housing successes in our country's history. Co-op City is a New York State Mitchell-Lama housing cooperative with apartments in high-rise and townhouse buildings. There are three shopping centers on Co-op City property, 8 parking garages, professional offices and a complete educational park. Construction of Co-op City began in 1966 on a site that was formerly home to an amusement park at which I used to work as a young man called ``Freedomland.'' Residents began moving into the complex in 1968, and construction was completed in 1973. Co-op City is divided into five sections, with each section denoted by a letter of the alphabet. Co-op City is managed by the Riverbay Corporation and is led by a Board of 15 residents, each elected to three-year terms. [[Page E1741]] Co-op City is a special place, not just to me, but to the thousands of people who have had the privilege of calling it home over the years. I myself am a former Co-op City resident, and my family and I lived there for many years. I have so many fond memories from my time there; from starting a family to beginning my career in public service, I can trace so many wonderful moments and life-events … | |||

ELIOT L. ENGEL of new york in the house of representatives Monday, December 31, 2018 Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct privilege to honor and recognize the accomplishments of a dear friend, a dedicated public servant, and an overall wonderful human being, my colleague Congressman Joe Crowley. This year, the Ancient Order of Hibernians in the Bronx is honoring Joe at their Annual Dinner Dance. They could not have picked a more deserving honoree. Joe and I go way back, starting with our days together in Albany as Members of the New York State Assembly. A native of Woodside, Queens and lifelong New Yorker, Joe has served the people of the Bronx and Queens in Congress since 1998. Before being elected to Congress, Joe received a bachelor's degree from Queens College, ran a successful small business for nearly a decade and represented the 30th Assembly District in the New York State legislature. Throughout his career in public service, Joe has been driven by a desire to protect New York's middle class. Joe has always been dedicated to making the Bronx-Queens community more prosperous and secure. He established the Crime Stoppers program in 2002 to support local organizations that are working to reduce crime and improve the quality of life in our neighborhoods, and it has delivered more than $1 million in federal funding to the Bronx-Queens community for graffiti clean-up, after-school programming, and civic patrol efforts.

ELIOT L. ENGEL of new york in the house of representatives Monday, December 31, 2018 Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, our houses of worship are often the ties that bind our communities together. In Rye, few institutions have been as successful in strengthening the neighborhood and bringing people together as the Community Synagogue of Rye, which this year is celebrating its remarkable 70th Anniversary. One Sunday in early autumn 1948, 7-year-old Betty Wolder asked her parents if she could go to church with her friend Susan who was Christian. Her parents explained that since they were Jewish and did not belong to Susan's church, she could not attend. Betty continued to ask questions and her parents wanted to give her better answers. The Wolders contacted the few Jewish people they knew in Rye about forming a Jewish religious school, and a sponsoring group of families. The response was extraordinarily positive, and the rest is history. A beautiful mansion--built in 1903 at 200 Forest Avenue--was purchased in June of 1950, and Rabbi Samuel H. Gordon, an experienced, widely traveled liberal Rabbi, was hired as the first spiritual leader in 1950. From there, Community Synagogue grew and flourished. The congregation is now around 500 families and over 300 students from Rye, and several communities between Greenwich and White Plains. The synagogue has an ambitious education program for both children and adults, numerous opportunities to become involved in social action, beautiful worship services, and life cycle celebrations. Their enthusiastic and a… | |||

ELIOT L. ENGEL of new york in the house of representatives Monday, December 31, 2018 Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, the importance of a free and open press cannot be overstated, especially in our local communities. I am very fortunate to represent a district that is covered by the Irish Echo, an outstanding local newspaper, which is led by my friend and one of this year's Ancient Order of Hibernians' honorees, Ray O'Hanlon. As Ranking Member on the House Foreign Affairs Committee, I have had the pleasure of working with Ray for many years on a wide variety of topics, including Irish-American issues which have always been particularly close to my heart. Ray is the editor of the New York-published Irish Echo. A native of Dublin who worked for [[Page E1742]] the Irish Press newspaper group before moving to the United States in 1987, Ray has reported from three continents in a news career spanning 39 years. In addition to his work as a reporter and editor, Ray has been a frequent contributor to U.S., Irish, and British media outlets reporting on Ireland, Irish-American affairs, and Anglo-Irish relations. He has appeared on CBS 60 minutes, ABC World News Tonight, and the Lehrer News Hour on PBS. He has also been interviewed on RTE, BBC and ITV, both television and radio. A prolific writer, Ray's book, ``The New Irish Americans'' (Roberts Rinehart, 1998) was the recipient of a Washington Irving Book Award. ``The South Lawn Plot,'' his first fiction work, was published in 2011 by Boston-based Gemma Media publishers. Ray is currently working on … | |||

BARBARA LEE of california in the house of representatives Monday, December 31, 2018 Ms. LEE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today as an elected representative, but also as a mother--a mother who is horrified and outraged by the actions taken by the Trump Administration to deliberately separate families. Like any mother, I love my children and cannot imagine being separated from them. But because of the Trump Administration's policies, some mothers have no choice. Just this week, I have been working to reunite two mothers in my community who were prevented from reuniting with their families. The first story I want to share is of Maria Mendoza-Sanchez. Maria has lived with her family in the East Bay for more than two decades. She and her husband Eusebio raised four beautiful children, worked hard, and purchased a home in Oakland. Maria went to school while raising small children and went on to become a nurse at Highland Hospital. She was beloved by her patients and her colleagues. Maria and Eusebio tried to do the right thing. They paid their taxes and came forward to legalize their immigration status. And for years, they were on a path to citizenship. But like many families, Maria and Eusebio's efforts did not matter to the Trump Administration. Under President Trump's misguided enforcement priorities, Maria and Eusebio were targeted for deportation.

ELIOT L. ENGEL of new york in the house of representatives Monday, December 31, 2018 Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize an organization that has done tremendous work both locally and on the global stage for 10 remarkable years now, The AFYA Foundation. The vision for AFYA began to take shape in a tent in the Serengeti. It was 2008, and AFYA's founder, Danielle Butin, was in Tanzania. She saw a woman sitting in a tent crying, who said, ``I am a highly sought- after physician from London, I took a month off from my practice to come here to volunteer and work in medical clinics. But they have nothing . . . absolutely nothing. I cannot save children from malaria because there are no meds or IV bags of fluids. People come in with infected wounds, and I have nothing to treat them with.'' In that moment, Danielle was compelled to take action. She returned home and immediately put her familiarity with and experience in New York City healthcare to use--cold calling hospitals and asking about materials that are discarded. In January 2008 she launched AFYA, which means ``health'' or ``wellness'' in Swahili. Almost immediately, hospitals started donating supplies. Since they didn't have a warehouse to store the equipment and supplies, a semi- trailer sat for three weeks outside her home in Westchester County. These humble beginnings are what grew 10 years later into an organization with a staff of 14, 3,000 volunteers annually, and a 17,000 square foot warehouse in Yonkers. Today, AFYA continues to serve those in need with the… | |||

ELIOT L. ENGEL of new york in the house of representatives Monday, December 31, 2018 Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I want to honor a civic organization in Yonkers that this year is celebrating a remarkable milestone--the Yonkers Chamber of Commerce. 2018 will mark 125 years for the Chamber, which for well over a century now has worked to improve economic development in the region while building and promoting the city of Yonkers. The Chamber's legacy of service began, officially, on May 1, 1893 when William F. Cochran, a leading Yonkers businessman, entered the old City Court Room and rapped his gavel to officially sanction what was to become a tradition to the local business community. The Yonkers Board of Trade was born. A number of prominent citizens, fifty-two to be exact, gathered to sanction what would later become Yonkers' leading business organization. A decade later, the Board of Trade continued to address issues of concern and helped establish a visible and viable business community. In 1903 the decision was made to form a Chamber of Commerce, and the process to make this a reality was put into place. On December 8, 1913, the Yonkers Chamber of Commerce officially became the 325th certified member of the United States Chamber of Commerce. The Chamber of Commerce has served as the guardian and advocate of business, and works to foster a healthy relationship with government to establish programs designed to enhance business opportunities and attract new commercial establishments to the city. The Chamber of Commerce repres… | |||

Mr. Speaker, for the past two years, it has been my immense honor to serve as Chairman of the House Committee on Appropriations.

In leading this committee, I had a singular focus on ``getting our work done.'' I am proud to say that in Fiscal Year 2019, we achieved something that hasn't been done in over two decades--passing five Appropriations bills ahead of the end of the fiscal year. This is not a remarkable feat nor one that deserves applause. But it is historic, and it signifies that we were able to do what the American people sent us here to do: govern responsibly. This was a critical step in returning to the regular federal funding process. These bills, which fund 75 percent of the federal government, included full funding for the Department of Defense and critical national security programs. My deepest devotion has always been to our men and women in uniform, all volunteers--to ensure they have the resources they need to fight and succeed in our missions. For their service and sacrifice, they must know they have the full support of the government behind them. I am proud to say we achieved that, providing stability and predictability where there had been none for many years. And we were able to provide historic levels of funding for the care of our veterans who h… | |||
