                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 15, 1997

  Mr. LEVIN. Mr. Speaker, on Wednesday, May 28, the Detroit chapter of 
the American Jewish Committee will present its prestigious Learned Hand 
Award to David Page.
  It is a richly deserved recognition of David Page's many decades of 
community service.
  He has honored his chosen profession within the traditions embodied 
in Judge Learned Hand's love of the law as an instrument of justice. 
His active partnership over the years in the law firm of Honigman, 
Miller, Schwartz and Cohn has been his anchor, and he has blended with 
it an exceptionally broad and diverse range of activity.
  His concern for the health of the residents of Metropolitan Detroit, 
especially its children, is reflected in his chairmanship of the board 
of the Children's Hospital of Michigan, and more recently as the vice-
chair of the Detroit Medical Center and director of the Karamanos 
Center Institute and chair of the Board of Visitors of the Wayne State 
University School of Medicine.
  His community activities in the United Way, United Fund Drive, the 
Boy Scouts, University of Michigan, Marygrove College, the Community 
Foundation for Southeastern Michigan, and the Greater Downtown 
Partnership have impacted the lives of Michigan residents from numerous 
walks of life.
  He has also been a pillar within his own Jewish community and 
nationally as director of the Council of Jewish Federations, president 
of the Jewish Federation of Metropolitan Detroit his director posts in 
American and Detroit, ORT, and his work with the Allied Jewish 
Campaign, the Jewish Community Center, and the Jewish Family and 
Children's Service, among others.
  Clearly, this recital of some of David Page's civic endeavors 
manifests a person of extraordinary interest in and concern for all of 
humanity. In his quiet, but sparkling way, he has brought light to many 
lives.
  I have been privileged to see some of his public accomplishments and 
to be a friend in his private life. The recognition bestowed on him 
through the Learned Hand Award is the kind he would never seek, but is 
richly deserved.
