                    IN HONOR OF CAROLYN M. GREENBERG

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. CAROLYN B. MALONEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, January 28, 1998

  Mrs. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to 
Carolyn M. Greenberg, a resident of my district whose term as chair of 
Community Board 8 in Manhattan has just ended.
  In taking on this position, Mr. Greenberg committed herself to a year 
of hard work as a leader, trouble-shooter, and diplomat. In this 
capacity, Ms. Greenberg has gone above and beyond the call of civic 
duty. Carolyn Greenberg has long been an advocate for the Upper East 
Side and, in fact, for all of the residents of the City of New York.
  During her time as chair and as a member of Community Board 8, she 
has demonstrated an unyielding dedication to the quality of life in the 
City. Carolyn has devoted hours of her free time monitoring local 
sidewalk cafes, researching community issues such as zoning regulations 
and environmental hazards, and attending public hearings.
  She has been a member of the Environment. Parks, and Pedestrian 
Affairs Committees, demonstrating that her spirit of public good 
extends to a variety of areas. She has many areas of expertise and has 
been very influential in diverse community issues through the years 
that I have worked with her.
  Ms. Greenberg served as a member of Community Board 8 from 1979 
through 1985, and again from 1986 to the present. She served as first 
and second vice chair, then as chair from 1996 to 1997.
  The efficiency and effectiveness Carolyn Greenberg has displayed in 
her role as chair of Community Board 8 should serve as a model for all 
community activists. Without people like Ms. Greenberg working to 
improve communities on the local level, our works as Members of 
Congress would be compounded tenfold. We should not only remember, but 
gratefully acknowledge the credit well-deserved by civic leaders. It is 
the hardworking people like Ms. Greenberg who keep alive the small-town 
feeling which could so easily be lost in a big city.
  Ms. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues rise with me in this tribute to 
Ms. Carolyn Greenberg, a woman who has worked very hard to improve her 
community. Thank you.
