                  HAPPY 60TH BIRTHDAY FRANCIS FRAENKEL

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. NITA M. LOWEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 21, 1997

  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I wish to honor and congratulate Francis 
Fraenkel on his 60th birthday.
  The name Francis Fraenkel is synonymous with success. Francis is 
currently president of Delta Capital Management, Inc., the investment 
advisory firm he founded in 1992. Prior to establishing DCM, he served 
as president of Salomon Brothers Asset Management Inc. and as managing 
director of Salomon Brothers Inc. Before joining Salomon Brothers, 
Francis served as chairman and chief executive officer of Lehman 
Management Co., and senior executive vice president and director of 
Lehman's parent company, Shearson Lehman Brothers.
  Francis earned his undergraduate degree in business from Tulane 
University's School of Business Administration in 1954, and has 
remained involved with the school ever since. In recognition of his 
career accomplishments and his continued support of the business 
school, he was honored as Freeman Business School's Distinguished 
Alumnus in 1984. Three years later, he was honored again by the school 
with the first bachelor of Science in Management Award for Excellence 
in Business. For the past 17 years, Francis has served on the Freeman 
Business School Council, which has given him the opportunity to help 
shape the future of the thousands of Freeman graduates who have 
followed him.
  While Francis' commitment to business excellence is clear, work is 
not the only thing that matters to him. For example, he has volunteered 
his time at Community Synagogue in Rye for years, and served as 
president from 1982-1984. Our community is a better place because of 
him.
  Perhaps most importantly, Francis Fraenkel is a dedicated husband and 
father. He has been married to his wife, Cecele Ross Fraenkel for 43 
years. He is the proud father of two daughters, Sally Fraenkel Zuch and 
Julie Fraenkel Mamis, and the grandfather of Emily and Melanie Zuch and 
Max Mamis. His example sends a message to us all that we need not 
choose between career and family. I know his family is proud.
  Mr. Speaker, on behalf of the friends, colleagues, and family of 
Francis Fraenkel, I hereby express my heartfelt congratulations on his 
60th birthday and wish him many more to come.

                          ____________________
