                           HON. PETER DEUTSCH

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 13, 1995
  Mr. DEUTSCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Daniel D. Cantor, who 
is being honored June 14, 1995 by the Joint Commission on the American 
promenade in Israel for his outstanding contributions in fostering and 
sustaining favorable relations between the State of Israel and the 
United States.
  Mr. Cantor was chosen for this honor because of his appointment as 
the founding father from Florida to the State of Israel of the 
American-Israel Promenade. The American Promenade in Israel is a 
further tribute to the continuing friendship between our two countries. 
To be built at the gateway to Jerusalem, the Promenade will consist of 
50 marble, 20-foot-high monuments bearing the flags of and the official 
seals of the 50 States as well as the United States-Israel Friendship 
Botanical Garden featuring Biblical and State trees, flowers and 
wildflowers. Mr. Cantor provided the leadership to bring about this 
significant gesture.
  Mr. Cantor served in the U.S. Navy in 1942 immediately following 
graduation from New York Law School. Following his service in the Navy, 
Mr. Cantor went on to become a successful builder and developer and 
operator of shopping centers and homes for the aged in Florida and New 
York.
  In addition to the American Promenade, Mr. Cantor has remained active 
in Jewish organizations in south Florida. He is the president and 
chairman of Israeli Bonds of Greater Fort Lauderdale and a life vice 
president and past campaign chairman of the Jewish Federation of Fort 
Lauderdale. He is also the president and founder of the Daniel D. 
Cantor Senior Center in Sunrise, FL, and chairman of the Daniel D. 
Cantor Charitable Foundation.
  Again, I salute Daniel D. Cantor for his lifetime dedication to his 
community. He is eminently worthy of the honor being bestowed upon him.
