                        Wednesday, July 17, 1996

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, there are many people in the Riverdale 
section of the Bronx who are worthy of praise for all of their civic 
activities. One of the most deserving in James J. McFadden, who for 
many years has given unselfishly of himself to make his neighborhood, 
his borough and his city a better place.
  He is a founding member of the Frances Schervier Home and Hospital 
Area Board of Trustees. He has initiated programs, to help drop-outs 
take high school equivalency exams, served as city labor commissioner 
and has served on the boards of the New York City Department of the 
Aging and the Yonkers Waterfront Commission. It is a great honor for me 
to be able to note that he is being named as Riverdalian of the Year by 
the Riverdale Community Council, a richly deserved honor.
