                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                      Thursday, February 29, 1996

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to recognize Jacqueline Charity, 
who serves as deputy director for access and compliance with the New 
York City Board of Education, for her years of service. Ms. Charity has 
amassed an impressive resume of selfless service in the cause of 
educating young people. She has been directly responsible for programs 
targeted at talented and gifted students, in addition to her 
outstanding supervision of the College Bound Program. Recognizing that 
it is essential for students to be competitive in math and sciences, 
Ms. Charity undertook the challenge to establish a math-science program 
at Stuyvesant High School.
  Jacqueline attended primary and secondary school in Brooklyn, and 
received her undergraduate degree from Brooklyn College, and her 
masters degree from New York University.
  A devoted mother and wife, Jackie finds the time to provide extensive 
community service in her church and for numerous civic organizations. 
Among her numerous awards is recognition from the Jack and Jill 
organization and the YWCA. Jacqueline maintains her spiritual center by 
serving as a eucharistic minister/lay reader at St. Phillips Episcopal 
Church. I am pleased to be able to bring the accomplishment of this 
noted Brooklyn educator to the attention of my colleagues.
