                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 26, 1997

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Eugene L. McCabe, a 
dedicated advocate of social and economic empowerment.
  During his tenure as president and chief executive officer of North 
General Hospital in Harlem, the hospital became a model for primary 
health care and community development initiatives. A unique aspect of 
this model is an integrated computer network and innovative financing 
which Mr. McCabe played a key role in marketing this future delivery 
system concept.
  Prior to joining North General, Mr. McCabe was affiliated with Deleuw 
Cather/Parsons and Associates. As the firm's regional director, Mr. 
McCabe directed the agency's New York staff in activities to launch a 
$2 billion rail transportation joint venture involving seven private 
firms. Mr. McCabe has over 20 years of experience in management 
consulting including Booz, Allen & Hamilton, Inc., an international 
consulting firm.
  Mr. McCabe's board memberships and community affiliations parallel 
his commitment to economic and social progress. He is vice chairman of 
the Apollo Theater Foundation, the operating entity for the world 
famous Apollo Theater, vice chairman of the Manhattan Empowerment Zone 
Development Corporation, member of the Harlem Business Alliance, the 
National Executive Service Corps [NESC], and other organizations 
involved in rebuilding the community.
  As a Member of Congress, I salute Mr. McCabe as a shining beacon of 
hope for the community. His tireless efforts have blazed a path for 
many to follow.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you to join me in saluting Mr. Eugene L. McCabe 
for his outstanding contributions to the community and to the nation.
