                      TRIBUTE TO MORRIS ABBE BLOOM

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 17, 1996

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
honor a constituent of the Sixth Congressional District of New Jersey. 
Morris Abbe Bloom, a man who has donated many years of service to 
charitable efforts, has unselfishly served the New Jersey shore 
community.
  It is with great honor that I pay tribute on this day September 17, 
1996, to Mr. Morris Bloom. Since the beginning of his career as the 
supervisor of education for the city of Long Branch in 1939 to his 
present position as chairman of the Board of the Drug Rehabilitation 
Institute, Mr. Bloom continues to touch the lives of all who know of 
and work with him.
  His many community activities range from assisting children from 
broken homes to establishing funds and scholarships for students to 
establishing the Elder Citizens' Security Councils which offers senior 
citizens freedom from fear in their daily activities. Mr. Bloom has 
also received numerous civic and professional awards throughout his 
illustrious career which include the gold lifetime badge award from the 
Police Athletic League, the medal of honor award for distinguished 
performances in community activities, and man of the year in two 
different years for helping bring poor emigrants to the United States. 
Mr. Bloom is also a member of the Princeton University Club, Phi Delta 
Kappa, Who's Who in American Education, Who's Who in Finance and 
Industry, and the American Institute of Certified Public Accountants.
  Mr. Speaker, it is truly heartwarming to see the fine work that 
Morris Bloom is responsible for and to know that there are people who 
still believe in helping others and giving back more to society than 
was given to them. Mr. Morris Abee Bloom should be applauded for his 
efforts and serve as a model for us all to emulate.
