   RECOGNIZING THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE GLENDALE CIVIC OBSERVATION 
                PATROL AND THE KIWANIS CLUB OF GLENDALE

                                 ______


                        HON. CHARLES E. SCHUMER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 29, 1994

  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
accomplishments of two organizations in my district, the Glendale Civic 
Observation Patrol and the Kiwanis Club of Glendale.
  Members of GCOP and the Kiwanis Club, along with Detective Keith 
Casey of the 104th precinct, have been working to ensure that their 5-
year joint graffiti committee removes virtually all the graffiti in the 
neighborhood.
  We all know graffiti is not just vandalism; it symbolizes a loss of 
control over the very streets we work and live on. By targeting and 
successfully removing graffiti wherever it appears, these dedicated 
citizens are protecting the property of our residents, keeping our 
neighborhood beautiful, and they are sending an important message to 
all would-be violators: Crime will not be tolerated on any level.
  GCOP and the Kiwanis Club have reminded us of the duty of every 
citizen to make their neighborhood a better and safer place. For their 
work on graffiti removal and their service to the community, I salute 
the Glendale Civic Observation Patrol and the Kiwanis Club of Glendale.
