                     TRIBUTE TO HARRY M. ROSENFELD

  (Mr. McNULTY asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. McNULTY. Madam Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Harry M. 
Rosenfeld, the editor-at-large of the Albany Times Union and one of 
this Nation's most highly respected journalists. Harry, who was 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. He served as foreign editor of the New York 
Herald Tribune and 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 New York's capital district of 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.
  Because of Harry Rosenfeld's commitment to honest courageous 
reporting as the foundation of responsible journalism, he leaves his 
community a better place.
  Harry retired from journalism last week. For nearly half a 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. I am proud to salute my friend Harry for his 
distinguished journalistic service to the cause of democracy. Thanks, 
Harry.
