                         Thursday, May 18, 1995
  Mr. BARRETT of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, today I congratulate Michael 
and Betsy Green who have been chosen as recipients of the Human 
Relations Award by the Milwaukee chapter of the American Jewish 
Committee.
  The Human Relations Award is given annually to leaders in the 
community for exemplary dedication to the principles of pursuit of 
community understanding and dedication to social and economic justice 
for all.
  Betsy and Michael Green have certainly earned this award through 
their volunteer and professional activities.
  Betsy Green is the immediate past president of the Milwaukee Jewish 
Federation and the current chairperson of the Jewish Community 
Foundation. Betsy's achievements have been recognized with the 
Milwaukee Jewish Federation Young Leadership Award and the Esther Cohen 
Women's Community Service Award. Betsy is one of the founders of the 
Wisconsin Research Center, a group devoted to pluralism in our society.
  Michael also has received the Milwaukee Jewish Federation Young 
Leadership Award and has served as a volunteer publisher of the 
Wisconsin Jewish Chronicle. Currently, Michael is the National Chairman 
of the United Jewish Appeal and will assume the chairmanship of the 
midwest region next month. Michael also has a commitment to creating 
opportunities in business for minorities with his work with the Jewish 
Foundation of Economic Opportunity.
  Michael and Betsy Green are dedicated to making Milwaukee a community 
which nurtures and appreciates diversity. I am honored to have the 
Greens as constituents. I congratulate them for being selected as 
recipients of the American Jewish Committee's Human Relations Award.
