                 HONORING PHILIP COHEN, CIVIC ACTIVIST

                                 ______


                         HON. E. CLAY SHAW, JR.

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, October 10, 1995

  Mr. SHAW. Mr. Speaker, on Sunday, October 15, 1995, the Northeast 
Dade Coalition, American Red Magen David of Israel and Admiral's Port 
Condominium along with the entire community of northeast Dade County, 
FL, will honor Mr. Philip Cohen for his many years of civic service and 
outstanding achievements.
  Mr. Cohen is a world traveler and has been a successful CPA and 
businessman all his life, carrying three very diverse portfolios which 
employed several hundred employees. In addition, Mr. Cohen has earned a 
place in a Marquis publication, ``Who's Who in the USA,'' as well as in 
the International ``Who's Who of Cambridge, England.''
  He has taken his business expertise to the local community of 
northeast Dade County where he resides and is highly regarded. He 
remains quite active fulfilling his duties as president of the Magen 
David Adom Blood Bank, he raises funds for the Northeast Dade Coalition 
of over 80 condominiums, and he writes a monthly column called ``Let's 
Talk Taxes'' in various publications. It's hard to believe that this 
man is considered to be retired.
  As a Member of Congress I represent hundreds of condominiums spanning 
some 97 miles of my district in southeast Florida. Although Miami may 
be viewed as the retirement capital of the world, I am proud to say 
that it is involved, dedicated activists like Mr. Philip Cohen who 
comprise the most active and respected representatives of our senior 
population in the United States of America. Congratulations to Mr. 
Cohen and to all of northeast Dade.
