  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, my colleagues and I are honored to pay 
tribute to Howard Welinsky, a close friend of ours, a great friend of 
Israel's, and one of the most active, passionate Democrats we have ever 
known. This year Howard is being given an award by AIPAC for his many 
activities on its behalf. It is a richly deserved honor.
  Indeed, Howard is legendary for his active support of candidates and 
causes in which he believes. The world could do with a few more people 
like Howard Welinsky.
  His energy is astounding. As senior vice president of administration 
at Warner Brothers, Howard oversees all the branch personnel operations 
in the United States and Canada for Warner Brothers distribution. He 
regularly arrives at the office before dawn and works well into the 
evening.

  Yet somehow Howard manages to appear at more than his share of after-
hours events, and to assume a leadership role in numerous 
organizations. For example, he is the current Chair of the Israel 
Commission of the Los Angeles Jewish Community Relations Committee; the 
current Chair of the Jewish Public Affairs Committee; a member of the 
board of trustees at UCLA; the current Chair of Democrats of Israel and 
a member of the regional board of the Los Angeles Hillel Council.
  This list represents only about half of all the organizations and 
associations lucky enough to benefit from Howard's participation. He is 
truly devoted to his community, and redefines the phrase ``civic-
minded.''
  Mr. Speaker, we ask our colleagues to join us today in saluting 
Howard Welinsky, whose life's work consists of helping others. He is an 
inspiration to all of us.
