 AWARD A CONGRESSIONAL GOLD MEDAL TO LUBAVITCHER GRAND REBBE MENACHEM 
                               SCHNEERSON

  Mr. D'AMATO. Mr. President, I rise today to comment on the passage of 
my bill to award a Congressional Gold Medal to Lubavitcher Grand Rebbe 
Menachem Schneerson.
  The Grand Rebbe for over forty years, made generous and lasting 
contributions to the cause of peace and understanding in the United 
States and in the world, through his selfless acts of kindness and 
education. His dedication to enriching the lives of our youth is an 
enduring part of his legacy.
  His generosity, his kindness, and his care for his fellow human 
beings was what made him such a revered leader. As such, the awarding 
of a Congressional Gold Medal, would be a just honor to the memory of 
his good deeds and his good works. I can think of no other man more 
deserving of such an award. I am pleased that Congress has bestowed 
this high honor upon a man so dedicated to peace and justice. It is a 
just tribute to his memory.
  Thank you Mr. President.
