                      Tuesday, September 27, 1994

  Mr. FOGLIETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to salute the Philadelphia 
Commission on Human Relations [PCHR] as it celebrates the 350th 
anniversary of the birth of Philadelphia's founder, William Penn, and 
honors my former colleague, the Honorable William H. Gray III, at their 
25th anniversary banquet on October 28.
  The Philadelphia Commission on Human Relations strives daily to 
promote their vision of intergroup harmony and understanding amongst 
communities. In honoring the Reverend Bill Gray with the 1994 Clarence 
Farmer Service Award, the commission honors a man whose service to his 
city and country as an educator, world leader, statesman, and clergyman 
embodies everything that the commission stands for: peace, harmony, 
tolerance, and understanding of our fellow human beings.
  I am proud of the accomplishments and contributions of the 
Philadelphia Commission on Human Rights, and I join with the 
Philadelphia community in congratulating the commission, Bill Gray, and 
all the individuals being honored by the commission on this important 
day.

                          ____________________
