                       TRIBUTE TO ETHEL STEINBERG

                                 ______


                        HON. CHARLES E. SCHUMER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 28, 1994

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. Speaker, one of the pleasures of serving in this 
legislative body is the opportunity we occasionally get to publicly 
acknowledge outstanding individuals of our Nation. I rise today to 
recognize one such individual, Ethel Steinberg, and to add my words to 
those of friends and colleagues who will be giving a testimonial in her 
honor on June 27, 1994.
  In her years as a special education teacher and supervisor she was a 
leader in mainstreaming special education children so that they too 
could be prepared for the future. It is clear that she understands the 
value of investing in this country's most precious resource, our 
children.
  We must never forget nor underestimate the contribution educators 
make to the lives of our children and to the health of our community. 
It is an honor to be given the opportunity to thank an individual who 
has dedicated her life to educating and fostering understanding and 
acceptance among our children. As she begins her retirement, I know 
that her time will be well spent with her husband, Sid, her children, 
Roy and Cindy, and her five grandchildren; but I also know that her 
presence in district 15 will be sorely missed.
  I'm sure I speak on behalf of many members of the community who have 
either worked with Ethel, or have experienced the benefits of her hard 
work when I thank this remarkable individual.
