           FIFTIETH ANNIVERSARY OF MARVIN AND ADELE MILLSTEIN

                                 ______


                          HON. MAJOR R. OWENS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 5, 1994

  Mr. OWENS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to salute the 50th wedding 
anniversary of Mr. and Mrs. Marvin and Adele Millstein residing at 506 
Avenue J in the County of Kings, the great borough of Brooklyn in New 
York. The Millsteins have been a driving force in the reform political 
movements in Brooklyn and on issues that are of great concern to people 
such as education, health care, and local economic development. Adele 
and members of her family have been honored many times by the elected 
officials of our borough for their work, and that is the case again 
this evening.
  Marvin Millstein met the former Adele Perlmutter in the waiting room 
of a driving school in August of 1943. Mr. Millstein was fighting for 
this country in the Second World War, serving in the U.S. Army in 
Europe. Ms. Perlmutter, from a family of three sisters, including 
Muriel Perlmutter Chenkin and Beatrice Perlmutter Shapiro, was a 
resident of the east flatbush neighborhood of Brooklyn and a hard-
working and brilliant young graduate of Samuel J. Tilden High School. 
For them, it was practically love at first sight and I am honored 
today, May 5, 1994, Mr. Speaker, to salute their love and devotion to 
each other and their family.
  The Millstein family is a respected family in Brooklyn. Marvin and 
Adele have two children, Ellen Millstein Gotlob and Lewis Mark 
Millstein, and three grandchildren, Evan Gotlob, and David and Benjamin 
Millstein, all of whom shared their parent's faith in our political 
system and the need to maximize the participation of all people in our 
democracy.
  In these times when the longevity of love is a phenomenon to be 
cherished and celebrated, it gives me great pleasure to congratulate 
Marvin and Adele Millstein on this their 50th wedding anniversary. It 
is my hope that the Millstein's will continue to serve as the first 
family of Brooklyn reform politics.
