                    in the house of representatives

                        Monday, October 30, 1995

  Mr. RUSH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to the South 
Street Journal, a community based newspaper on Chicago's South Side, on 
the occasion of their second anniversary.
  The South Street Journal has always prided itself on social 
responsibility providing objective and insightful news while keeping in 
mind the welfare of the residents of the communities it services. It 
has built a strong foundation of not only disseminating information but 
also encouraging communities to become involved in the current events 
and politics that affect them.
  For 2 years, the South Street Journal has provided Chicago's South 
Side with an informative and relevant community newspaper that fosters 
open dialogue on current events and helps to strengthen community 
relations. They have helped register voters and have provided a voice 
to communities that are sometimes overlooked.
  South Side communities such as Washington Park, Hyde Park, Douglas, 
Oakland, Kenwood, Woodlawn, Fuller Park, Armour Square, Grand 
Boulevard, and the Gap have all seen the benefits the Journal has 
provided.
  Mr. Speaker, today I stand here to formally recognize the South 
Street Journal for their contribution to the South Side of Chicago, the 
State of Illinois, and the United States of America.
  I am pleased to enter these words of commendation into the Record.

                          ____________________
