                                 ______


                          HON. CARRIE P. MEEK

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, February 2, 1995
  Mrs. MEEK of Florida. Mr. Speaker, next week Israel H. Milton, the 
Assistant Dade County Manager responsible for human services programs, 
will retire from our county government. I want to join with his many 
friends and admirers throughout our entire community in extending to 
him our thanks for his outstanding service and our congratulations for 
a job well done.
  Israel Milton is a public servant in the very highest and best sense 
of the word. He is a veteran of more than three decades hard work and 
achievement in the area of social services.
  Never one to shy away from difficult assignments, Israel Milton began 
his career in Dade County in 1967 as a social services administrator at 
the Kendall Children's Home. He also served as director of the Office 
of Neighborhood Service Centers and director of the Model Cities 
Program; became director of the Department of Human Resources in 1982; 
and rose to assistant county manager in 1992.
  The talents and judgment he brought to these jobs and the breadth and 
depth of his experience will be sorely missed; people of his calibre 
are not easily replaced. He has always been accessible to the people of 
our community, constantly working to provide quality services and a 
better life for all our citizens.
  Israel Milton is a graduate of Dorsey High School in Miami and 
Bethune-Cookman College. He received his Master's Degree in social work 
from Atlanta University.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to extend my best wishes to Israel Milton and to 
his wife, Thelma Milton. Our community thanks you for your service and 
for the contribution you have made to the lives of so many people.
