                   TRIBUTE TO LOUISE AND GERALD STEIN

                         HON. THOMAS M. BARRETT

                              of wisconsin

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 20, 1996

  Mr. BARRETT of Wisconsin. Mr. Speaker, I pay tribute today to two of 
Milwaukee County's outstanding citizens, Louise and Gerald Stein. As 
the Milwaukee Chapter of the International State of Israel Bonds 
organization prepares to honor Louise and Gerald for their many 
contributions to our community, I would like to take a moment to 
reflect on the remarkable achievements of this great couple.
  Louise was educated as a registered medical technologist, and is 
exceptionally involved in the Milwaukee Jewish Federation as an 
officer, and cochair of the Lead Community Project for Systemic Change 
in Jewish Education. Louise is a past president in the women's 
division. Louise also serves as a board member of the Jewish Education 
Service of North America and the Hillel Academy.
  Jerry Stein is a distinguished attorney and certified public 
accountant who for the past 39 years, has worked for the Zilber-Towne 
Realty family of companies. He is the president and CEO of Zilber, 
Ltd., which is responsible for all investments and operations of the 
Zilber companies. Jerry presently serves with distinction as the 
president of the Milwaukee Jewish Federation and is the past campaign 
chair. Jerry is also director and past president of the Milwaukee 
Center for Independence and the Milwaukee Public Museum, as well as 
past general chairman of Israel Bonds in Wisconsin. Jerry presently 
continues to serve as a board member of the Jewish Home and Care Center 
and the University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee Foundation Board. In addition 
to these endeavors, Jerry selflessly devotes his time to the advisory 
boards of the Milwaukee Heart Institute, First Bank Milwaukee, 
University of Wisconsin Milwaukee School of Business Administration and 
the Marquette University Law School and Multicultural Council.
  Louise and Jerry have been married for 36 years and have three 
daughters and four grandchildren. Their commitment to their faith, 
family, country, and community is truly extraordinary, and they have 
been an inspiration to us all.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend the Milwaukee Chapter of the international 
State of Israel Bonds organization on its excellent selection of Louise 
and Gerald Stein as this year's honorees. I wish Louise and Jerry 
continued success in all of their endeavors.
