                       NATIONAL PHILANTHROPY DAY

 Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, I rise today to honor National 
Philanthropy Day which will be observed on November 12, 1996. Each year 
on this day, the Nation recognizes the outstanding contributions that 
nonprofit philanthropic organizations make to our communities.
  There are presently more than 800,000 philanthropic organizations in 
the United States, employing approximately 10,000,000 people. These 
organizations and individuals give their time, talent, and resources to 
the important causes that can improve our communities. Without their 
extraordinary efforts, many of our Nation's dreams for a better 
tomorrow would not come true.
  I know my Senate colleagues join me in honoring the organizations and 
individuals who make so many worthwhile causes in our country 
successful.
