                     HONORING LEW AND AMY KIRSCHNER

                                 ______


                        HON. MAURICE D. HINCHEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 4, 1994

  Mr. HINCHEY. Mr. Speaker, it is my very great honor to stand here 
today to honor my very good friends Lew and Amy Kirschner, who are the 
1994 recipients of the Israel Bonds Peace Medal, which is to be 
bestowed upon them by the Ulster County State of Israel Bonds 
Committee. I cannot think of two more deserving individuals to receive 
this honor and I am proud to be able to add my voice to those who will 
be gathered on October 13 to extend our gratitude to Lew and Amy for 
all their good work on the behalf of our community.
  Lew and Amy Kirschner have worked tirelessly for the people of Ulster 
County--working for the United Way, Kingston Hospital, the Lion's Club, 
U.A.R.C., the C.R.C., and on the behalf of a myriad of other nonprofit 
organizations. Their service to the Jewish community has been 
exhaustive; they have given of themselves selflessly and graciously. If 
ever two individuals exemplified the notion of public service it is Lew 
and Amy Kirschner. All of us in Ulster County owe a most sincere debt 
of gratitude to the Kirschners.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in celebrating the contributions and 
very great public spirit of Amy and Lew Kirschner as I extend my own 
personal congratulations to them as well on being awarded the 1994 
Israel Bonds Peace Medal.
