                        TRIBUTE TO MARILYN GLICK

                                 ______


                            HON. JERRY LEWIS

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 26, 1994

  Mr. LEWIS of California. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to your 
attention the fine work and inspired leadership of my very dear friend, 
Marilyn Glick of San Bernardino, CA. Marilyn, who has demonstrated a 
remarkable dedication to the needs of the people of the 40th 
Congressional District, is retiring from my staff after 16 years of 
outstanding service.
  Marilyn began her career in public affairs as an intern in my State 
assembly office in March 1978. Her sensitivity to the needs and 
concerns of people was very apparent from her very first day and I 
hired her as a member of my full-time staff in August of the same year. 
Most remarkable to me is the fact that Marilyn, who enrolled in college 
a the age of 42, completed her degree by attending school at night and 
was the recipient of numerous academic honors.
  During her tenure, Marilyn has touched and had a positive and direct 
impact on the lives of thousands of people. The impersonal business of 
government often has the tendency to put numbers on people--but not 
Marilyn. She has treated every constituent case as a mission and, more 
often than not, she has succeeded in making the bureaucracy of 
government work for our citizens. Marilyn has been a tireless and 
tenacious advocate and, to say the least, she will be sorely missed.
  Marilyn has also provided leadership in numerous civic and community-
based organizations enriching the lives of people young and old alike. 
She has served by running an after-school enrichment program for over 
600 elementary school children, as a Girl Scout leader, in the PTA, and 
as president of the Inland Empire American Red Cross. She has also 
served as an advisory board member of the Inland Adolescent Clinic 
Board and the Alumni Association for Cal State, San Bernardino.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me, our colleagues, Marilyn's 
husband, Larry, their two daughters, Lori and Karen, and their many 
friends in honoring this special woman for her remarkably dedicated 
service. Over the years, Marilyn has touched the lives of many people 
in our community and it is only fitting that the House recognize her 
today.
