                        TRIBUTE TO LEONARD REID

                                 ______


                         HON. HOWARD L. BERMAN

                             of california

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 20, 1994

  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I am honored to pay tribute to Leonard Reid, 
a man who truly defines the meaning and spirit of community leadership. 
Leonard's busy professional life--he is an audiologist with a practice 
in Van Nuys--has not prevented him from becoming involved in a range of 
activities and causes, including the Haven Hills Shelter for Abused 
Women and Children and the Van Nuys High School Key Club. Most 
recently, Leonard was honored for his tenure as president of the Van 
Nuys Kiwanis Club.
  As his resume attests, Leonard has special feelings for young people. 
He has participated in many projects that are designed to bring 
happiness to the lives of children and teenagers. These include the 
Delano Community Center Halloween party, the Angels for the Children 
Christmas gift drive, the Sylvan Park children's Christmas party, and 
the Tri-Valley Special Olympics. In addition, Leonard contributed food 
and clothing to the San Fernando Valley Child Guidance Clinic.
  Leonard even manages to combine his social life with his community 
activism. An avid sailor, Leonard participated in the white elephant 
sale for funds for the Victory Outreach Program and was involved with 
recreational sailing and other projects to support the group Children 
of the Night. Leonard is always thinking about what else he can do to 
help.
  The Van Nuys Kiwanis Club was the most recent beneficiary of his time 
and talent. During his tenure he improved the membership, commitment, 
and scope of the organization.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting Leonard Reid, a man with a 
big heart and the energy to match.
