                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 6, 1994

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
recognize the contributions of Mr. Emil Propper, who is retiring from 
the United Federation of Teachers after more than 16 years of service.
  As the Representative of District 11 in the Bronx, and as a chapter 
leader at Truman High School, Mr. Propper has worked with his 
colleagues to improve conditions for both students and teachers. His 
dedication to his profession is well known, and the has touched many 
young lives in a positive way.
  Mr. Propper has had a stellar career in the private sector and as a 
teacher. A graduate of Stevens Institute in Hoboken, NJ, he earned a 
graduate degree in Mechanical Engineering from Long Island University. 
He worked as an engineer for 20 years at Grumman and other aeronautic 
firms, and worked on the LEM space vehicle that landed on the moon. He 
then shared his breadth of knowledge with students as a math teacher at 
Truman High School.
  I know Emil's wife Marilyn, and his daughter Beth, are also proud of 
his accomplishments. On behalf of all the people who have worked with 
Emil Propper, I extend best wishes for a happy retirement.
