     TRIBUTE TO REGIONAL AID FOR INTERIM NEEDS, INC., ON ITS 30TH 
                              ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______


                          HON. JOSE E. SERRANO

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 19, 1994

  Mr. SERRANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to call to my colleagues' attention 
an organization called Regional Aid for Interim Needs, Inc. [R.A.I.N.], 
which this Thursday will celebrate its 30th year of service to the 
seniors of the Bronx.
  For 30 years R.A.I.N. has been enriching the lives of seniors with 
such services as home attendant care, recreational activities, and an 
in-house thrift shop staffed by seniors.
  This Thursday the board of directors of R.A.I.N. will honor three 
preeminent leaders who bear great responsibility for the welfare of the 
seniors of the Bronx: First Lady Hillary Rodham Clinton, New York Mayor 
Rudolph Giuliani, and the president and founder of R.A.I.N., Beatrice 
Castiglia Catullo.
  Mr. Speaker, the elderly are becoming a greater and greater segment 
of our communities across the United States. I hope my colleagues will 
join me in paying tribute to R.A.I.N. and its honorees for their 
continuing efforts to brighten the future for ourselves and our Nation.
