                      HONORING DR. LAURA FLIEGNER

                                 ______


                        HON. MAURICE D. HINCHEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 7, 1995
  Mr. HINCHEY. Mr. Speaker, on February 25, my friends in Ulster 
County, NY, will gather to pay tribute to a woman who has dedicated 
years of service to our community. It is an honor and a privilege to 
ask that this body join me in tribute to Dr. Laura Fliegner, a woman of 
considerable talent and vision, who has served as district 
superintendent of the Ulster County board of cooperative extension 
since 1987.
  It has been a personal pleasure to count Dr. Fliegner among my 
friends and advisors over the years. She is a woman dedicated not just 
to the education and training of our community's young people, but she 
is also committed to making the community more receptive and eager to 
particpate in the many good works that she has initiated. Laura has a 
rare gift for conveying to a wide constituency the importance of our 
young people and the vital contribution that they can and should make 
to our community. In her capacity as liaison and board member to a wide 
range of service and business organization throughout the Hudson 
[[Page E288]] Valley, she has been able to bring about programs and 
progress that have effected positive change for all of us.
  Those of us who have been privileged to work with Laura over the 
years will sorely miss her continued participation in the betterment of 
our region. I thank my esteemed colleagues for taking this opportunity 
to recognize the public service that Dr. Fliegner has extended to the 
community at large.
