  Mr. FOGLIETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute Councilman Alvin 
B. Stewart of Philadelphia for his outstanding contributions to the 
city of Philadelphia.
  Councilman Alvin B. Stewart is being honored by his friends and 
family on October 6, 1995 as a tribute to his many years of service to 
the Philadelphia community. Councilman Stewart has served the eighth 
District of Philadelphia with honor, dignity and commitment, offering 
new and innovative ideas to the community. He has proudly served the 
Philadelphia civic community in many capacities including supervisor of 
the Board of Revision of Taxes, ward leader for the 11th Ward, former 
vice chairman of the United Black Ward Leaders and as a retired 
Philadelphia police officer.
  Councilman Stewart has established many worthwhile programs in 
Philadelphia including a revitalization program in the Nicetown/Tioga 
area. The North Central Community Development Corp., founded by 
Councilman Stewart has planned to furnish the community with retail 
stores, affordable housing, a community center, job training, a 
satellite college, supermarket, bank, a facility for older Americans, 
and a full-service hospital.
  I am proud of Councilman Alvin B. Stewart's many civic achievements, 
and I hope that my colleagues will join with me today in wishing him 
the very best in his continued service as councilman of the eighth 
District of Philadelphia.
