  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to acknowledge Ms. Elinore 
Mandell, a native of Brooklyn. Ms. Mandell was born, reared and 
educated in Brooklyn. Her children are products of the public school 
system. And her grandchildren currently attend public school. Elinore 
Mandell has always been concerned about the quality of life for 
children. Her concern and devotion was quite evident during her 
children's formative years when she participated in various community 
activities. She served as an assistant leader for both the Brownies and 
Girl Scouts, and as a den mother for the Cub Scouts. And she also held 
a number of positions in the parents association.
  In 1980 Elinore moved to East New York/Starrett City and ran 
successfully for membership on the district 19 school board, where she 
served for 10 years. She retired from the school board in 1993. Elinore 
is employed by Assemblyman Anthony Genovesi as his administrative 
assistant, and has ably served him for the past 20 years.
