                                 ______


                          HON. JERROLD NADLER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, October 24, 1995

  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the fifth 
anniversary of the AIDS Service Center of Lower Manhattan, which will 
be commemorated October 30, 1995. Founded in October 1990 as the Lower 
Manhattan AIDS Task Force, the AIDS Service Center has grown into a 
multiservice community organization which is dedicated to serving 
individuals, families, and communities that are affected by HIV/AIDS. 
ASC has expanded its services to provide case management, advocacy and 
support services, peer education, community outreach, and training 
opportunities for people living with AIDS in Manhattan. The AIDS 
Service Center has served over 4,000 people through street outreach and 
education activities, and engaged over 300 people living with HIV/AIDS 
in case management services. I am honored to pay tribute to this fine 
organization, which is located in my district, and to mark its fifth 
anniversary. As the number of people with AIDS increases every day, it 
is gratifying that ASC is here to meet the needs of all who are 
affected by AIDS.
