                       HONORING DR. PHILIP SEGAN

                                 ______


                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                          Tuesday, May 9, 1995
  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, On May 7, 1995 Dr. Philip Segan will be 
honored at the Student Sponsorship Breakfast to be held by the 
Riverdale Temple.
  It has been noted that most of the significant life cycle events in 
Dr. Segan's adult life are connected to the Riverdale Temple. It is 
rare that we find someone so committed to his community and his 
religious ideals.
  Dr. Segan has served as co-president of the Parents' Association and 
then as chairperson of the schools committee. But Dr. Segan's work with 
the temple did not stop when his children grew up. He went on to become 
temple vice president and then in 1990 became the temple's 18th 
president--a number with great significance in Judaism.
  Dr. Segan and his family have also worked with indigent families in 
the surrounding community through the Kingsbridge, Riverdale, Marble 
Hill Food and Hunger Project. Now a former Schools Committee 
chairperson, still an active member, and past president of the temple, 
Dr. Segan remains actively involved in social and educational causes 
both in the temple and the community.
  I join with Dr. Segan's family, friends and fellow temple members in 
congratulating him on this honor.
