          WESTSIDE JEWISH COMMUNITY CENTER'S 40TH ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______


                          HON. HENRY A. WAXMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 3, 1994

  Mr. WAXMAN. Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me in paying 
tribute to the Westside Jewish Community Center of Los Angeles on its 
40th anniversary.
  As a longtime honorary member of the Westside Jewish Community 
Center, I feel especially strongly about the magnificent work of this 
pluralistic, nonsectarian organization. Center services range from 
nursery school to senior citizen programs to English language classes 
for Russian emigres to a unique swimming program to aid arthritics.
  The Westside Jewish Community Center has been the focal point of a 
dramatic stabilization of a racially integrated neighborhood. Both the 
neighborhood and the center's membership reflect the harmony among 
ethnic groups that has prevailed largely through the efforts of the 
center.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in congratulating the Westside Jewish 
Community Center on its 40th anniversary and extend best wishes of 
continued success to its officers, directors, members, and 
participants.
