                        TRIBUTE TO ED WEINSTEIN

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. E. CLAY SHAW, JR.

                               of florida

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 19, 1998

  Mr. SHAW. Mr. Speaker, in just a few months, the accounting 
profession will bid farewell to one of its illustrious members. Ed 
Weinstein epitomizes what CPAs stand for: honesty, integrity, and 
forthrightness in all matters. Ed majored in accounting at Columbia 
University and earned his MBA from the Wharton School. He then joined 
Touche Ross and Co., and is currently a senior partner in the Deloitte 
& Touche firm. He has spent most of his professional career in New York 
and Pennsylvania, and during part of that time he managed the firm's 
Philadelphia office.
  But Ed has done more than serve his clients; he serves his community 
and gives selflessly of his time and talents to many worthy and 
deserving causes. He is currently involved in the New York City Police 
Foundation, the Cooper-Hewitt National Museum of Design, and the New 
York City Public/Private Initiatives Commission. He is a Public Member 
of the New York City Rent Guidelines Board and is actively involved in 
Operation Exodus, the United Israel Appeal.
  Fittingly, Ed has been acknowledged by his peers for his professional 
and civic activities. The New York Society of CPAs awarded Ed ``The 
Arthur J. Dixon Public Service Award'' and he received the New York 
City Police Department's Certificate of Commendation of 1994.
  As a fellow CPA, I know the accounting profession will surely miss 
him, but I also know that Ed intends to continue many of the important 
community activities in which he is currently involved.
  On behalf of my colleagues, I extend to Ed and his wonderful wife, 
Sandra, our very best wishes for a long and well-deserved retirement.
