  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, it is my pleasure to introduce my House 
colleagues to Sanford ``Sandy'' Rubenstein, who will be honored on May 
4, 1994, as the Brooklyn Democrats Man of the Year.
  Sandy is the senior partner in the law firm of Rubenstein & Flatow, a 
well known and respected personal injury law firm. Mr. Rubenstein 
enjoys a reputation for winning big cases that involve personal injury 
tragedies. His celebrated trial accomplishments have afforded him 
opportunities to appear on numerous television programs.
  A tireless servant, Sandy serves on the Kings County Democratic 
Supreme Court Screening Panel, and is also a member of the New York 
State Trial Lawyers Association and the Board of Governors of Trial 
Lawyers of the city of New York.
  President Clinton has recognized Sandy for his efforts to promote 
democracy in Haiti and peace in the Middle East. Additionally, he was 
the recipient of the Israel Freedom Award for his efforts to promote 
economic development. Mr. Rubenstein was also given the Haiti 
Friendship Award on behalf of his efforts to promote democracy. Mr. 
Rubenstein's humanitarian efforts abroad are matched by his 
philanthropic efforts in Brooklyn and Rockland County to improve the 
plight of the needy and less fortunate.
  A resident of Rockland County, Sandy has been elected to five 
consecutive terms to the Rockland County Legislature. He represents the 
town of Ramapo, and serves as the legislature's majority leader.
  It is my pleasure and honor to salute Sandy Rubenstein for his vast 
political, professional, and humanitarian efforts.
