          IN HONOR OF THE POLISH & SLAVIC FEDERAL CREDIT UNION

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. CAROLYN B. MALONEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, April 21, 1997

  Mrs. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay a 
respectful tribute to the Polish & Slavic Federal Credit Union which is 
celebrating its 20th anniversary of devoted service to Metropolitan New 
York's Polish-American community.
  The Polish & Slavic Federal Credit Union was founded in 1978 as the 
financial arm of the Polish & Slavic Center. The credit union expands 
the center's dedication to New York's Polish and Slavic communities by 
providing financial opportunities unavailable to them prior to its 
establishment. Over the years, the credit union has guaranteed 
financial security to thousands of Polish-Americans and provided 
immeasurable benefits to the community.
  The Polish & Slavic Federal Credit Union, which operates five 
branches that serve over 42,000 members, has achieved great results 
over the years. Not only does it hold the distinct honor of reaching 
the highest return on assets among the largest credit unions in the 
United States, its capital to assets ratio is the highest in the 
country. The credit union is so successful that two more branches of 
the Polish & Slavic Federal Credit Union are expected to open in the 
near future to service the community's financial concerns.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues rise with me in this tribute 
and to pay honor to the Polish & Slavic Federal Credit Union as they 
celebrate their 20th anniversary.
