  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to introduce to my colleagues, 
Ms. Claudette Smith. Claudette works as a staff manager for NYNEX. 
Claudette is a tireless humanitarian and community servant. She 
consistently tutors with Project Live a corporate tutorial aid program 
coordinated with the New York City public school system.
  Claudette has been recognized for her community efforts. In 1993 she 
received an award for the Philadelphia S.D.A. Bronx Church for 
outstanding community service. She is that special someone who feeds 
the homeless, assists her elderly neighbors, and helps friends and 
strangers.
  Claudette was born in Kingston, Jamaica and came to the United States 
when she was 10 years old. Claudette personifies the work ethic. She 
attended school at night earning a degree in accounting, while working 
full time. Her daughter is a freshman at Wesleyan University. This 
family tradition of hard work and commitment to education has continued 
with her daughter, who is a freshman at Wesleyan University.
