                      HONORING DR. DAVID COCKCROFT

                                 ______


                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 25, 1994

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize the service to his neighbors that has been made by Dr. David 
Cockcroft, who is being honored this week as Riverdalian of the Year by 
the Riverdale Community Council.
  Later this year, Dr. Cockcroft will retire from the pastorate at the 
Riverdale Presbyterian Church after serving for 26 years. During that 
time, he has performed countless good deeds on behalf of all the people 
of the community. The support and dedication he has given to 
individuals and to neighborhood associations has endeared him to the 
community. Whether he is working to maintain clean parks, comforting 
people with AIDS, or performing his religious duties, David Cockcroft 
is fully committed to the task at hand.
  As he describes it, David Cockcroft is retiring from the pastorage 
but not from life. That is why I am sure he will continue to be a 
positive force in the Riverdale community, where he has already touched 
so many lives. I thank him on behalf of my constituents and extend my 
personal best wishes.
