                      Wednesday, October 18, 1995

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the contributions 
of Dr. Thomas Monteiro. Dr. Monteiro serves as the department head of 
the Advance Certificate Program in Education Administration and 
Supervision at Brooklyn College of the City University of New York. He 
formerly served as the director of the Principal's Center at Brooklyn 
College.
  Dr. Monteiro has worked diligently and passionately to improve 
educational programs, with a particular emphasis on designing program 
evaluations for school districts.
  This distinguished gentleman graduated from the New York City school 
system and has received degrees from Winston-Salem State University, 
Queens College of the City University of New York, and Fordham 
University.
  Active in community and political affairs, Dr. Monteiro served as the 
former president of the Jamaica, Queens branch of the NAACP. One 
crowning achievement among many in his life, was being named the 
recipient of the 1988 Educator of the Year award by the Association of 
Black Educators in New York City. I am proud to highlight the 
accomplishments of Dr. Monteiro.
