  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I would like to acknowledge the contributions 
of Leroy F. Smith, a man who has contributed greatly to the community 
of Brooklyn, NY. Mr. Smith is a graduate of the New York public school 
system. He attended Boys High School in Brooklyn, and received a B.B.A. 
from Brooklyn College and his M.B.A. from the University of South 
Carolina.
  Leroy has combined his academic training with community activism and 
professional experience to make meaningful contributions to my 
congressional district and greater Brooklyn.
  Mr. Smith works tirelessly. Currently he serves as the president of a 
Bedford Stuyvesant tenant association, in addition to being the 
president of the Williamsburg-Throop-Marcus Garvey Blvd. Block 
Association. He is also a member of the 79th Precinct Community Council 
and the Willoughby Square Corporation. His past endeavors included 
service on the board of directors for the Bedford Stuyvesant Community 
Legal Services Corporation, and he is past president of various PTA 
organizations at Satellite East J.H.S., O.S. 44, and J.H.S. 258. 
Additionally, Mr. Smith served as a legislative aide to Assemblyman 
William F. Boyland, and he was one of 13 members of the Brooklyn 
Congress of Racial Equality [CORE] who walked 250 miles to attend the 
1973 March on Washington.
  I am pleased to introduce Leroy Smith to my House colleagues and to 
congratulate him for his valuable service to the community.
