  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize Rev. Curlee Windham for 
his longstanding service to God and the community of Brooklyn and the 
members of Liberty Baptist Church. Reverend Windham is a native of St. 
George, SC. Employed as a New York Housing Authority housing inspector, 
Reverend Windham is guided by spiritual faith and devotion.
  As the pastor of Liberty Baptist Church he has been instrumental in 
mentoring and creating spiritual leadership within the church community 
and the community at-large. Under the pastor's religious and 
organizational direction his congregation has retired the mortgage on 
his church. Additionally programs that nourish the soul, body, and mind 
have been developed under Pastor Windham's guidance. His initiatives 
include a 12-step program of Narcotics Anonymous, and programs that 
provide food, clothing, tutoring, and community outreach.
  Reverend Windham has established himself as a pillar and visionary in 
the community. On May 3, 1996, he will celebrate his 13th anniversary 
of service to God, his church, and the community. I am pleased to 
recognize his selfless efforts and dedicated service.
