                      TRIBUTE TO LOUISE WOLFF KAHN

                                 ______


                       HON. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON

                                of texas

                    in the house of representatives

                       Friday, December 22, 1995

  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, I rise in 
remembrance of one of the great women of Dallas who reflected the true 
meaning of giving.
  Her name is Louise Wolff Kahn and she was given with unswerving 
dedication in support of the arts, education and historic preservation 
in Dallas.
  In Dallas, we enjoy a rich heritage of philanthropy. We live in a 
giving community, and if Louise Wolff Kahn believed in a program, 
institution, or building project, she would devote herself to making it 
successful. She dedicated herself to many important endeavors such as 
the Dallas Symphony, breathing life into the organization during some 
of its darkest financial days. Much of her work has gone without any 
publicity, but publicity is not what she wanted; she to create a 
wonderful learning environment for children of low income families. It 
is evidenced by her devotion to the East Dallas Community School and 
the Dallas Public Library systems.
  With her passing, Dallas has lost one of its greatest 
philanthropists.
