                         Tuesday, June 17, 1997

  Ms. HARMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate a community 
leader and my friend, David Herbst, on his completion of a successful 
year as the president of the Westchester/LAX Chamber of Commerce.
  It has been my pleasure to participate with David in a number of 
important events, beginning with his magnificent installation ceremony 
on the campus of his alma mater, Loyola Marymount University.
  Under David's tenure, the Westchester/LAX chamber has also played 
host to important dignitaries, many of whom I cohosted, among them 
Mickey Kantor, then Secretary of Commerce, and Secretary of Defense 
William Cohen, who spoke to a breakfast of 400 business leaders just 
last month.
  David deserves a great deal of credit for superb leadership, yielding 
successful growth in the chamber's financial performance, community 
support, and interaction with governmental bodies.
  I salute David for being one of those rare people who is not only 
successful in the business world, but dedicated to our community. 
Westchester is a better place because of his work.
