             JIM HYLAND: A NEIGHBOR WHO WENT THE EXTRA MILE

                                 ______


                           HON. NITA M. LOWEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Wednesday, May 3, 1995
  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to honor Jim Hyland--a resident 
of the 18th Congressional District of New York--for his enduring 
commitment to our community. Jim Hyland exemplifies both leadership and 
service to his community. For 36 years, Mr. Hyland has worked with 
Citibank in the areas of lending and marketing. During his impressive 
career with the company, Mr. Hyland has served both as branch manager 
and as area director.
  Jim Hyland's tireless community work is firmly evidenced by his 
current position as Citibank's Government and community relations 
officer for the Westchester, Mid Hudson, and Long Island regions. As 
the bank's representative in the community, Mr. Hyland brings 
Citibank's resources to the neighborhoods it serves.
  Mr. Speaker, Jim's tenure at Citibank alone would have been enough to 
merit recognition. However, his grassroots campaign to improve the 
quality of neighborhood life does not end with his efforts at Citibank. 
In addition, he serves on several area boards of directors, including: 
Food Patch; Private Industry Council; Westchester Light House; 
Westchester/Putnam Affirmative Action; National Conference of 
Christians and Jews; and the Long Island Housing Partnership.
  Aside from his commitment to community service, Jim Hyland is a 
dedicated husband, father and grandfather. Jim and his wife Joan, a 
registered nurse, live in Yorktown, NY. They have 7 wonderful children 
and 11 grandchildren.
  Jim truly represents Citibank to the communities he serves. His love 
of people has compelled him to give of himself to help others. Jim's 
community outreach work, coupled with his remarkable sense of humor, 
have brought laughter and joy to so many over his 36-year career.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the friends, colleagues, admirers, and 
family of Jim Hyland, I hereby express heartfelt appreciation for his 
years of service and recognize the joyous occasion of his retirement. I 
am pleased to salute him.
