              SALUTING THE PUBLIC SERVICE OF HOWARD LANDAU

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. LOUIS STOKES

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, August 2, 1996

  Mr. STOKES. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to salute the dedication and 
hard work of an active and caring citizen of Ohio's Eleventh 
Congressional District, Mr. Howard Landau. Mr. Landau is currently 
completing his third and final year as board chairman of the northern 
Ohio region of the Anti-Defamation League, where he has done an 
outstanding job. Mr. Landau's tenure as the region's ADL board chairman 
has been signified by the elevated level of activity within the agency 
and in ADL's role in the Greater Cleveland community. He has fostered 
committees to address intergroup relations, public relations, and civil 
rights. Howard has also shown the importance of leadership development 
by serving on ADL's Leadership Development Committee. He has executed 
this leadership further by magnifying the prominence of the northeast 
Ohio ADL at the national level.
  Previous to assuming the regional chairmanship, Howard served as the 
first Chair of the agency's local ``A World of Difference'' diversity 
education program. This program has now trained more than 2,000 
educators and community representatives, and thousands more students. 
This was the product of Mr. Landau's leadership.
  Mr. Speaker, Mr. Landau, who has spent more than a quarter of a 
century as a public relations specialist for interesting and 
influential clients, has given greatly of his time to serve our 
community. Other organizations he has served include the Great Lakes 
Science Center in Cleveland, the boards of the Cleveland Restoration 
Society and Leadership Cleveland, and he is a former president of the 
Cleveland City Club. I ask my colleagues to join me in saluting Mr. 
Howard Landau's devotion to public service and efforts to further 
understanding, diversity, and civil rights.
