               TRIBUTE TO FRAN KLAUBER AND HOWARD KUSNICK

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. PETER DEUTSCH

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 24, 1996

  Mr. DEUTSCH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor two exceptional 
individuals from Sunrise, FL, Ms. Fran Klauber and Mr. Howard Kusnick. 
They will both be inducted into the Sunrise Chamber Hall of Fame on 
October 4, 1996 for their notable accomplishments in the chamber and in 
the local community. This is the second annual Sunrise Chamber Hall of 
Fame fundraiser dedicated to recognizing outstanding chamber members 
who have contributed their time and effort to help the chamber achieve 
a variety of successes in the Sunrise community.
  I applaud the many years that Fran Klauber has spent as an active 
member of the Sunrise chamber. Fran has served on the chamber board, 
the president's advisory council, and has been involved in various 
programs that bridge the Sunrise business community and the local 
community. Fran has been instrumental in the success of the One for the 
Kids Program which brings business and schools together so that 
students, teachers, and parents can interact with leaders in the 
community. Fran has actively supported the Sunrise Police Athletic 
League by helping to facilitate the program which provides sport 
activities for at-risk youth in the community. She devotes a 
considerable amount of time to enrich the lives of residents in the 
community through these programs. Currently, she continues to work on 
behalf of the education system as an ongoing day chair for the 
Leadership Sunrise Program, a program which gives business leaders 
valuable insight into Broward's public education system. Her 
accomplishments as a member of the chamber will forever touch the 
Sunrise community.
  As three term president of the chamber, Howard Kusnick has been an 
active board member and currently represents the chamber as legal 
counsel. In 1995, the Broward County Council of Chambers recognized 
Howard as the Small Business Person of the Year for his leadership, 
direction and commitment to the business community. As an active member 
of the Broward Economic Development Council, he has helped to encourage 
new business in the county to improve the economy. Howard's 
contributions to the chamber have made a tremendous difference in 
Broward County.
  I wish Fran and Howard the best on receiving this prestigious 
recognition from the Sunrise Chamber. I know that they will each 
continue to be effective business leaders and make a difference in the 
community.
