                RECOGNITION OF COLUMBUS COUNCIL NO. 126

                                 ______


                        HON. CHARLES E. SCHUMER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 3, 1995
  Mr. SCHUMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Columbus Council 
No. 126 on the occasion of its centennial anniversary of Friday, May 
26, 1995. Having attended many of their events over the years, I know 
first hand the important work this organization does for the community.
  I have often said that seniors are the backbone of our community. 
When I think of who is active in bringing seniors together to socialize 
and organize on the pressing issues of the day, I think of the members 
of Columbus Council No. 126. It is no surprise to me that they have had 
100 years of success; we have all benefited from their commitment to 
charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism.
  I would like to personally thank the members and leadership of 
Columbus Council No. 126 for their dedication to service. I know my 
colleagues in the House of Representatives will join me in wishing this 
community organization another 100 years of success.
