  Mr. SERRANO. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Roland Jonathan 
Lewis, who was honored for his outstanding contribution to the 
community on October 6 at the 1995 St. Benedict the Moor Neighborhood 
Center's Dinner Dance, in the South Bronx.
  Mr. Lewis is one of eight individuals who were recognized for their 
remarkable success in helping rehabilitate individuals who had been 
struggling with substance abuse. The rehabilitation program is being 
implemented at St. Benedict the Moor Neighborhood Center.
  Mr. Lewis earned his bachelor of arts degree from Columbia 
University, and both a master's in regional planning and a juris 
doctor's from Rutgers University.
  Lewis is currently a partner at Dellapa & Lewis where he had been 
successful in facilitating the development of affordable housing 
projects. He is married to Faye Lewis and has two children.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleague to join me in honoring Roland Lewis 
for the generous service rendered for the benefit of our community.
