                      TRIBUTE TO TUSHIA N. FISHER

                                 ______


                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 28, 1996

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize Ms. Tushia N. Fisher who 
is employed as a special assistant to the New York State Senate 
Minority Leader, Martin Connor. She is a student enrolled in the State 
University of New York, Empire State College, in a combined master's 
degree program in political science.
  Tushia is a remarkable example of a 1990's woman, dedicated to her 
family, striving to improve herself as a single parent, and dedicated 
to improving and empowering her community. Tushia believes that 
children are our future. She has embarked on a campaign, starting with 
her 6-year-old son Jamere Jamison, to improve the plight of African-
American youth. Her efforts include volunteering at the Interfaith 
Hospital holiday drive, as well as the City Kids Foundation. 
Additionally, Tushia is an active member of Concord Baptist Church. She 
provides a wonderful example for single and dedicated parents about how 
to pursue personal and professional development while providing 
volunteer service to her community. I am happy to cite this wonderful 
community success story.
