                        HON. MICHAEL R. McNULTY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 30, 1997

  Mr. McNULTY. Mr. Speaker, one of the benefits of serving in this body 
is the opportunity to pay tribute to citizens who make positive 
contributions to their communities and their professions.
  One such citizen is Harry M. Rosenfeld, the editor-in-large of the 
Albany Times Union and one of this Nation's most highly respected 
journalists. Mr. Rosenfeld, who is one of my constituents, has enjoyed 
a long and illustrious career. He came to this country as an immigrant, 
was educated at Syracuse University, served his Nation proudly during 
the Korean War and embarked on a career in newspaper work.
  Mr. Rosenfeld served as foreign editor of the New York Herald-
Tribune. He then moved to the Washington Post, where he directed the 
coverage of the Watergate story that earned the Post a much deserved 
Pulitzer Prize.
  In 1979, Mr. Rosenfeld came to the New York's capital district to 
serve as editor-in-chief of the Albany Times Union and Knickerbocker 
News. During his tenure as editor, the newspaper won countless awards 
for general excellence and community service.
  Mr. Rosenfeld retires from journalism at the end of this week. For 
nearly a half-century, he has served as the living embodiment of the 
loftiest principles of his profession. In his community and in his 
industry, he enjoys a well-earned reputation for integrity and undying 
devotion to the highest standards of his craft.
  Because of Harry Rosenfeld's commitment to honest, courageous 
reporting as the foundation of responsible journalism, he leaves his 
community a better place. I am proud to salute my friend Harry 
Rosenfeld for his distinguished journalistic service to the cause of 
democracy.
