      HONORING RUBY MOY, DIRECTOR OF U.S. CIVIL RIGHTS COMMISSION

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. EARL F. HILLIARD

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 26, 1997

  Mr. HILLIARD. Mr. Speaker, I stand before you today to congratulate 
the President for his wise choice of Ms. Ruby Moy as the new staff 
director of the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights. I am confident she 
will do a wonderful job in her new position.
  Before Ruby Moy was nominated for this position, she was well known 
for the expertise and acumen of her position as the executive assistant 
to the Director of the White House Office of Public Liaison, now the 
Secretary of Labor, the Honorable Alexis Herman. Ruby Moy held this 
position for 4 years, and was intricately involved in constituency 
outreach programs and official White House events.
  Prior to working for the President, she served as the chief of staff 
to Congressman

Frank Horton of New York from 1973 until 1992. In this capacity, Ruby 
Moy was very involved in public policy, and the development of 
legislation.
  As the new staff director for the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights, 
Ruby Moy will bring an understanding and dedication to a position of 
extreme importance to the minority communities of America. She will be 
shepherding a program whose purpose is freedom and equality for all. As 
the vice chairman of the Congressional Black Caucus, I commend 
President Clinton for his choice of Ruby Moy. I expect her to be one of 
the finest Directors that the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights has ever 
had. I also direct her to be an advocate for the least, the last, and 
the lost of our society. We are depending on her to walk the second 
mile in this most important position.
