                                 ______


                        HON. THOMAS M. FOGLIETTA

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, April 6, 1995
  Mr. FOGLIETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute Mr. Robert Brady 
of Philadelphia whose 50th birthday will be celebrated on April 7, 
1995. Throughout his lifetime, Mr. Brady has contributed greatly to the 
people of the City of Philadelphia.
  A graduate of Saint Thomas Moore High School and the Martin Technical 
School, Mr. Brady began a distinguished career in public service in 
1975. Mr. Brady served as the Assistant Sergeant at Arms for the 
Philadelphia City Council and the Labor Liaison to the Mayor's Office 
from 1975 to 1986. A working man first, last and always, Bob Brady has 
served as Legislative Representative of the United Brotherhood of 
Carpenters and Joiners.
  Since 1965, Mr. Brady has been a leader in the Democratic Party of 
Philadelphia, culminating in his election as Chairman of the Democratic 
County Executive Committee of Philadelphia. In addition, to his work 
with the Democratic Party, Mr. Brady has been appointed as a member of 
the Pennsylvania Turnpike Commission and the Delaware River Port 
Authority. In those two positions, he has made important contributions 
in creating jobs and protecting the rights of workers.
  In his 50 years, Mr. Brady has already given more to the City of 
Philadelphia than many people give in a lifetime. I hope that he will 
continue to have a long and successful career for at least 50 more 
years, and I look forward to continuing to work with him. I hope all of 
my colleagues will join me in wishing Mr. Robert Brady a very happy 
50th birthday.
