                           HONORING THE OSSERS

                                 ______


                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, October 5, 1994

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take a moment to recognize 
two special residents of my district, Sidney and Lillian Osser, who 
this year are celebrating their 60th year of marriage.
  The Ossers have been active members of the Co-op City community for a 
long time, and I am proud of the contributions they have made. Sid 
Osser is a former president of the Co-op City Arts Council, and he has 
also served as president of the Baychester Library Association. He was 
selected to the Governors Conference on Libraries and Educational 
Projects.
  Sid Osser is also a former silent movie star, and the only surviving 
cast member of the 1919 film, ``Humoresque.'' In 1985, Paramount 
Pictures flew him to Hollywood for a remake of the film.
  There are many other interesting and important activities in which 
the Ossers have been involved, perhaps the greatest of which is the 
raising of their two children, Arlene and Leonard, and the joyous 
addition of their two grandchildren.
  On behalf of all the people that know and care for the Ossers, I 
congratulate them on their long and fruitful relationship.
