  Mrs. MALONEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Christine 
McMullan, honored by the Pulaski Association as Woman of the Year. I 
ask my colleagues to join me and the Pulaski Association in recognizing 
Mrs. McMullan's contributions to community and civic groups in the 14th 
Congressional District of New York.
  Christine McMullan is to be commended for years of dedicated 
involvement in her community through several fraternal organizations. 
She currently serves as the president and chief executive officer of 
the Polish National Alliance, a fraternal insurance company. In the 
past, Mrs. McMullan has served as president of the New York, New Jersey 
& New England Fraternal Congresses and president of the State section 
of the National Fraternal Congress of America, which serves 10 million 
members. Her many years of dedicated participation in these 
organizations, all of which require community involvement for 
membership, show her to be a committed servant in the public interest.
  As a leader in several fraternal organizations, Mrs. McMullan must be 
recognized for the individual groups she is involved with. Currently, 
Mrs. McMullan serves on the boards of the Greenpoint Y.M.C.A., the 
Brooklyn Chamber of Commerce, the Kosciuszko Foundation, and the Polish 
American Organizations and Endeavors. In the past, she has served on 
the parish council and other committees of St. Stanislaus Kostka 
Church, and as president of the Krakowianki & Gorale Children's Polish 
Folk Dance & Song Ensemble. She has been involved with the Greenpoint 
Civic Council and the Polish Slavic Center.
  Christine McMullan is a native of the Greenpoint section of Brooklyn, 
NY. She graduated with honors from St. Stanislaus Kostka School in 
1956. She was equally as successful at All Saints High School where she 
was on the dean's honor list each year. She later attended the Drake 
Institute School of Business Administration, and took courses in 
insurance at New York University and Purdue University.
  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to pay tribute today, with the Pulaski 
Association and my colleagues in this body, to Mrs. Christine McMullan 
for her continuing contributions to the Polish community and to civic 
groups in the 14th Congressional District of New York.
