                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                      Thursday, February 13, 1997

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, it is with great pleasure that I rise today 
to recognize the many years of invaluable community service of Beverly 
Britton Fraser, Esq. Ms. Britton Fraser, an attorney, has committed her 
life to winning justice for the poor. Despite numerous opportunities 
offered by corporate law firms and government agencies, Ms. Britton 
Fraser, a University of Buffalo School of Law graduate, has zealously 
worked as a trial attorney for the Legal Aid Society.
  This native Brooklynite was also a ``Partner in Education.'' As such, 
she visited inner-city schools and talked with students of all ages 
about her profession, substance abuse avoidance, and attaining personal 
goals through education. As a person who has always been

influenced by an intense desire to give back to her community, Ms. 
Britton Fraser has wholeheartedly pursued her goals.
  In 1992, in the course of her career as a lawyer, Ms. Britton Fraser 
met and married Errol Fraser, a certified public accountant. The couple 
currently resides in Brooklyn where she is a court attorney for Judge 
Bernard Fuchs of the New York City Civil Court. She continues to pursue 
that the belief that ``justice is being served for all,'' but 
particularly for those who are poor and downtrodden in our community.
  For these reasons, it gives me great pleasure to Salute Ms. Beverly 
Britton Fraser, a community hero. I ask my colleagues to join me in 
saluting Ms. Britton Fraser.
