                          HON. ELIOT L. ENGEL

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, July 24, 1996

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, Murray and Beatrice Safran are a living 
affirmation of the institution of marriage. It was 50 years ago, on 
February 17, 1946, that they were married. They had five children and 
have contributed to their community and their country with pride and 
distinction.
  Murray served in the U.S. Army from 1942-46 after which he was a 
guidance counselor and social studies teacher and United Federation of 
Teachers chapter chairman. He was also active in the Jewish War 
Veterans. In 1994, he was named Man of the Year by the Association of 
Americans and Canadians in Israel. Beatrice served as cochairperson of 
the Association for Help of Retarded Children, as secretary to the 
president of Hebrew University and involved herself in politics as a 
member of the Reform Democratic Club.
  I want to congratulate Murray and Beatrice on their 50 years of 
marriage and their children, Judith, Hal, Aron, Sari, and Debra.
