                        Thursday, April 28, 1994

  Mr. HINCHEY. Mr. Speaker, It is a privilege to be able to bring to 
your attention the New York State Anti-Defamation League's 1994 Tri-
County Americanism Award honorees: Bernard Handel, Jerome Affron, and 
my personal friend, Dr. Laura Fliegner. All three of these 
distinguished individuals are deserving of our recognition and 
commendation, and I am honored to be able to speak on their behalf.
  Dedicated to securing justice and the fair treatment of all citizens, 
the Anti-Defamation League plays a vital role in furthering harmonious 
co-existence in our communities. Each of the three 1994 Tri-County 
Americanism Award honorees are distinguished members of our community 
and through their service have enriched many lives.
  Laura Fliegner's extensive community service is well know to those of 
us who have had the privilege of working by her side over the years, 
and her professional reputation is one that receives statewide 
recognition. Bernard Handel has devoted his life to preserving the 
rights of his fellow citizens. And Jerome Affron has managed to combine 
business acumen with a full schedule of community service. All three 
embody the principles most espoused by the Anti-Defamation League, and 
it is a unique privilege to be able to call your attention to the 
success of their labor.
  It is my privilege, Mr. Speaker, to be able to join in celebrating 
their achievement on Sunday, May 1st.
