IN HONOR OF THE CHAIRS OF THE WOMEN'S CAMPAIGN OF THE UJA-FEDERATION OF 
                                NEW YORK

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. NITA M. LOWEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 11, 1996

  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, tonight, the UJA-Federation of New York will 
honor the 56 women who have chaired the Women's Campaign since 1934. 
These women of vision dedicated themselves to the UJA-Federation's 
mission of safeguarding and caring for the Jewish community throughout 
the world. They understood the importance of the United States-Israel 
relationship, and worked tirelessly to bring together Jews in Israel 
and the diaspora. We can all take pride in the contributions these 
women made to the well-being of the Jewish people.
  What is striking about these women is both the depth and breadth of 
their commitment to the Jewish community. Through their outstanding 
efforts with the UJA-Federation, they left their mark on New York, on 
the Nation, on Israel and on the world. These women were truly leaders.
  Many of these women fought for education and for the arts, for human 
rights and for religious freedom, raising funds for a local and 
overseas network of health and human service organizations. In the 
1930's and 1940's, these women led the fight to bring European Jews to 
safety in America. They were at the forefront of efforts to establish 
and then secure the independent Jewish homeland of Israel. And, more 
recently, they led Operation Exodus, which transported Jews in peril to 
Israel and the United States.
  Each of these women devoted her time, her heart, and her life to 
Jewish communal service. And each is proof that just one woman can make 
a real difference.

                       SENATE COMMITTEE MEETINGS

  Title IV of Senate Resolution 4, agreed to by the Senate on February 
4, 1977, calls for establishment of a system for a computerized 
schedule of all meetings and hearings of Senate committees, 
subcommittees, joint committees, and committees of conference. This 
title requires all such committees to notify the Office of the Senate 
Daily Digest--designated by the Rules Committee--of the time, place, 
and purpose of the meetings, when scheduled, and any cancellations or 
changes in the meetings as they occur.
  As an additional procedure along with the computerization of this 
information, the Office of the Senate Daily Digest will prepare this 
information for printing in the Extensions of Remarks section of the 
Congressional Record on Monday and Wednesday of each week.
  Meetings scheduled for Thursday, September 12, 1996, may be found in 
the Daily Digest of today's Record.
