  Mr. ROHRABACHER. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to inform my colleagues 
that I have the honor to represent Mrs. Minnie Cohen who is today 
celebrating her 108th birthday.
  Mrs. Cohen was born in New York City on this day in 1886. Her mother 
was an immigrant from Rumania and her father emigrated from Paris, 
France.
  Mrs. Cohen is the oldest of nine children. She has 5 children, 14 
grandchildren and 21 great grandchildren.
  I have been informed by the Social Security Administration Santa Ana, 
CA branch manager, Mrs. Wanda Waldman, that Mrs. Cohen is the oldest 
person in the United States receiving Social Security benefits.
  An event with many of Mrs. Cohen's friends and family members 
including her oldest daughter, Mrs. Dorothy Schneiderman, who is 
visiting from New York, will be held at Mrs. Cohen's convalescent home 
in Huntington Beach, CA today to celebrate her 108th birthday and to 
note the fact that she is the oldest Social Security recipient in the 
United States.
  Many happy returns Mrs. Cohen.

                          ____________________
