                     TRIBUTE TO DR. ROY W. STREETE

                                 ______


                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 29, 1994

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an outstanding 
and accomplished resident of New York, Dr. Roy W. Streete. Dr. Streete 
is currently practicing dentistry in the Bronx, New York. He is a co-
founder and President of the Organization for International Development 
[OID]. The OID works to ameliorate health conditions of the needy and 
poverty stricken throughout the world. The organization consists of 
dedicated volunteers who frequently travel to Jamaica to provide health 
care and educational services to adults and children who would 
otherwise remain inaccessible.
  Dr. Streete is the last of six sons born to the late Llewellyn and 
Lola Streete in the District of Donalva, Parish of Hanover, Jamaica, 
West Indies. He received his early education at the Mt. Hannah Primary 
School and the Ruseau High School. After migrating to the United 
States, Dr. Streete received a BA degree from Lehman College. He went 
on to receive a DDS degree from Howard University, and an MPH in 
International Health from New York Medical College.
  Dr. Streete is a great but modest person who embodies the philosophy 
that he is his ``brother's keeper''. His humanitarian efforts directed 
at helping the disadvantaged, have brought a higher level of health 
welfare for many people. The efforts of Dr. Streete and the OID reflect 
the admirable quality of unselfishness. I ask my colleagues to join me 
in honoring Dr. Roy Streete for his outstanding and worthwhile 
contribution.
