   RECOGNIZING THE ACCOMPLISHMENTS OF THE BROOKLYN CHINESE-AMERICAN 
                              ASSOCIATION

                                 ______


                        HON. CHARLES E. SCHUMER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, January 18, 1995
  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the 
accomplishments of the Brooklyn Chinese-American Association [BCA]. I 
am especially pleased to honor this organization at the grand opening 
of their community service center.
  Over the past 7 years, President Paul Mak has worked tirelessly to 
develop the BCA. BCA can now proudly list the many important services 
it provides for members of the Brooklyn Chinese-American community; 
application assistance for entitlements, cultural and recreational 
activities, health-related workshops and excursions for senior 
citizens; counseling for at risk youths; career-oriented and academic-
related workshops, youth leadership training and summer camps for 
youths; assisting crime victims. Staff and volunteers at BCA should be 
proud of their achievements in making their community a richer, more 
vital place to live.
  BCA recognized the needs of the community, and decided to take 
action. They remind us of the responsibility of every citizen to make 
our communities and neighborhoods better, safer places. For their work 
in community service, I salute the members of BCA. I know that all my 
colleagues in the House of Representatives will join me in wishing them 
many years of success and growth.
