                        TRIBUTE TO SULTAN AHMAD

                                 ______


                        HON. THOMAS M. FOGLIETTA

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, August 4, 1994

  Mr. FOGLIETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate my good friend 
Sultan Ahmad on the occasion of his promotion to deputy director of 
operations at the Philadelphia Parking Authority. Sultan comes to his 
new position from the mayor's office of community services where he 
served as the agency's executive director.
  Sulton's prior position entailed coordinating programs to address 
issues of homelessness, housing, youth violence, nutrition, 
unemployment, economics, and illiteracy in the city of Philadelphia. 
Last year, over 100,000 citizens were affected by the agency's 
services. In addition, he established the Sultan Jihad Ahmad 
Scholarship Fund which grants scholarships to deserving college 
students and grants to worthy organizations. This fund was formed by 
Sultan in loving memory of his son, a high school student who died 
tragically in a shooting death. Sultan has been a leader in promoting 
respect, dedication, and faith in people of all ages.
  In recognition of his leadership and commitment to the community, he 
will be honored by the staff of the office of community services with a 
celebration dinner on Wednesday, August 10, 1994, in Philadelphia. Mr. 
Speaker, I join with friends and family in recognizing Sultan Ahmad's 
accomplishments and wishing him the best of luck in his new endeavors 
with the Philadelphia Parking Authority.
