  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, for 25 years the National Council of Negro 
Women, Co-op City section, has been serving the community in numerous 
ways, giving to the area programs which will make Co-op City better for 
generations to come. This marvelous group of people has established the 
Saturday tutorial to give individualized instruction in reading and 
math for grades 2-12. It also established a youth group for young 
ladies, teaching them pride, leadership, responsibility, and community 
participation; the Community Concerns Committee, in which members visit 
shut-ins or nursing homes in the community; and the annual brotherhood 
program to recognize an outstanding individual, family, and a youth in 
the community. This is a wonderful organization which continues to 
contribute so much to the community. I am proud to have them as 
neighbors.
