 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE COSMETIC, TOILETRY, AND FRAGRANCE ASSOCIATION

                                 ______


                       HON. CONSTANCE A. MORELLA

                              of maryland

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 21, 1994

  Mrs. MORELLA. Mr. Speaker, 1994 marks the 100th anniversary of the 
Cosmetic, Toiletry, and Fragrance Association.
  This organization admirably serves its 500 members and millions of 
consumers through a variety of safety, regulatory, and public service 
programs. One such program, which I have personally observed, is ``Look 
Good . . . Feel Better,'' which is a joint effort of CTFA, the American 
Cancer Society, and the National Cosmetology Association. This free 
program helps women cancer patients learn how to use makeup techniques 
to cope with changes in appearance caused by chemotherapy and radiation 
treatments. Last year, 26,000 women were helped by the program, which 
is available in every State and four foreign countries. The program is 
also available in Spanish to better serve the Latino community.
  President Clinton paid special tribute to ``Look Good . . . Feel 
Better'' in his congratulatory message to the CTFA membership during 
its recent centennial anniversary meeting. I would like to join 
President Clinton in saluting CTFA for its 100 years of achievement, 
and I ask that his message be inserted in the Record:


                                              The White House,

                                    Washington, DC, March 1, 1994.
       Greetings to everyone gathered in Boca Raton, Florida, for 
     the centennial anniversary meeting of the Cosmetic, Toiletry, 
     and Fragrance Association. I am delighted to congratulate all 
     of you on one hundred years of dedicated service to the 
     personal products industry.
       In coming together on this occasion, you are renewing your 
     time-honored commitment to quality, innovation, and 
     excellence. Best exemplified by your ``Look Good . . . Feel 
     Better'' program to help cancer patients regain a strong 
     self-image after treatment, the members of your organization 
     have consistently proven your dedication to serving 
     communities across the country. I hope you will take 
     advantage of this exciting opportunity to exchange 
     information and to examine new ways of meting the needs of 
     consumers. As we work to create new jobs and build the 
     foundations of prosperity for the coming century, I commend 
     you for your many contributions to these worthy goals.
       Best wishes for an enjoyable and productive meeting.
     Bill Clinton.
