                                 ______


                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 12, 1995
  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, a long-time community leader and activist, 
Samuel Bea, Jr., is retiring as district manager of Community Board No. 
12 in the Bronx after serving 18 years in the post.
  Sam's commitment to the residents of the Northeast Bronx cannot be 
matched. He brought to the position of district manager exceptional 
management skills and knowledge of people and issues which were the key 
to his many successes in trying to improve the quality of life for his 
constituents.
  His past experience includes serving as director of Community 
Services, Westchester Community Opportunity Program, Inc., executive 
director, Mount Vernon Community Action Group, project administrator, 
Harlem Hospital Comprehensive Alcoholism Program, deputy executive, 
associate director, OJT director, Urban League of Westchester, manpower 
coordinator, Yonkers, NY, and director, Neighborhood Youth Corps, 
Greensburg, NY.
  Everything that Sam Bea has done in his professional life has been 
devoted toward helping people. And though he retirees from being 
district manager, I am sure his commitment to helping people will 
continue.
  I join with Sam's family, friends, and colleagues in wishing him the 
best in the years ahead and thank him for all he has done.
