                      TRIBUTE TO RICHARD M. OSTER

                                 ______


                             HON. JACK REED

                            of rhode island

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 11, 1994

  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an outstanding 
Rhode Islander, Richard M. Oster, who is being honored by the National 
Conference of Rhode Island and Southeastern New England as their 
Humanitarian of the Year.
  Mr. Oster has been a leader in Rhode Island for many years and he is 
known for his success as a businessman, his commitment to community 
service and his unselfish dedication to charitable and philanthropic 
endeavors.
  Among the many organizations Mr. Oster has been an active participant 
in, such as Big Brothers, Inc., Meeting Street School, and the National 
Conference of Rhode Island and Southeastern New England, he has always 
been willing to share his business acumen with these organizations. His 
other interests within the community of Rhode Island are just as varied 
such as the African Development Foundation Advisory Council, the Rhode 
Island Philharmonic Orchestra and the Trinity Repertory Company along 
with serving as a trustee on the boards of the local institutions of 
higher education.
  Mr. Oster's leadership qualities and results-oriented attitude have 
earned him the respect and affection of many, and I urge my colleagues 
to join me in honoring an outstanding Rhode Islander, Richard M. Oster.
