                         HON. GARY L. ACKERMAN

                      Tuesday, September 19, 1995

  Mr. ACKERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise to salute the National Center for 
Disability Services, which is located in Alberston, NY. The National 
Center for Disability Services is a recipient of the U.S. Department of 
Labor's 1995 Epic Award, in recognition of its formidable success in 
assisting corporate America recruit and employ individuals with 
disabilities.
  For over 40 years, this facility has demonstrated that people with 
disabilities can participate fully in our society if given the 
opportunity. This center provides a comprehensive array of services for 
people with disabilities, including a school for children, and career 
evaluation, training and placement services for adults.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask all of my colleagues in the House of 
Representatives to join me now in congratulating Edmund L. Cortez, the 
center's president and chief executive officer, along with his entire 
staff, for this remarkable achievement.
