                        Wednesday, May 11, 1994

  Mr. REED. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an outstanding 
Rhode Islander, David A. Duffy who is being honored by the National 
Conference of Rhode Island and Southeastern New England as their 
Humanitarian of the Year.
  Mr. Duffy has been a leader in Rhode Island for many years and he is 
known for his success as a businessman, his unselfish dedication to 
charitable and philantropic endeavors along with his commitment to 
community service.
  Mr. Duffy has been an active participant in many Rhode Island 
organizations such as the chamber of commerce, Save the Bay, and the 
John C. Fogarty Foundation for the Mentally Retarded. He has served his 
community in various capacities over the years such as director of the 
Providence, RI Preservation Society, Junior Achievement organization as 
well as IN-SIGHT, formerly the Rhode Island Association for the Blind.
  In 1993 Mr. Duffy received the Never Again award from the Jewish 
Federation of Rhode Island in recognition of his efforts to influence 
the reduction of anti-Semitism, racism, and bigotry which is presented 
in conjunction with Holocaust Remembrance Day.
  I urge my colleagues to join me today in honoring an outstanding 
individual, David A. Duffy, who has earned the respect and admiration 
of many Rhode Islanders.
