  Mr. BERMAN. Mr. Speaker, my colleagues and I are honored to pay 
tribute to Nettie Becker, who this year is being given an award 

[[Page E 2238]]
from AIPAC for her long history of efforts on its behalf. Nettie has 
proven countless times over the years that she is, indeed, a great 
friend of Israel. AIPAC is lucky to have her talents and energy.
  So are many other organizations, associations, committees, and 
commissions. Nettie is one of those special people who makes a point of 
being active and involved with the community. She is a member of the 
executive committee of the Anti-Defamation League; a member of the 
California Women's Political Summit; a board member of the Odyssey 
Theatre in Los Angeles; a board member of the Jewish National Fund and 
a Governor Wilson appointee to the Seismic Safety Commission.
  Nettie's accomplishments have not gone unnoticed. The Los Angeles 
County Commission for Women honored her in 1993 for dedicated service 
to the community, while in 1990 she was given the first Women of 
Achievement Award from State of Israel Bonds.
  Through it all Nettie has managed to run a business, Nettie Becker 
Escrow, Inc., of Beverly Hills. Since its founding in 1979, it has 
become one of the most successful escrow companies in California. The 
Los Angeles Business Journal named Nettie Becker Escrow as 1 of its top 
100 woman owned businesses since 1989.
  Mr. Speaker, we ask our colleagues to join us today in saluting 
Nettie Becker, whose selflessness, dedication, and work ethic is an 
inspiration to us all.
