                  HONORING THE REVEREND CHARLES SCHAUM

                                 ______
                                 

                        HON. MAURICE D. HINCHEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 11, 1998

  Mr. HINCHEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to congratulate the Reverend Charles 
Schaum upon his retirement and to praise his work of the last thirty-
one years at the Union Presbyterian Church in Newburgh, New York. 
Reverend Schaum's contributions to the community will be celebrated 
this Sunday at a party in his honor and I want to join his family, 
friends, and neighbors and the entire community in thanking him for his 
many contributions--leading the way in creating a nursery school, a 
counseling service, a food bank for the poor, reading programs, and so 
much more. Reverend Schaum also served as the President of McQuade 
Children's Services which provides important educational and housing 
services to troubled children. He encouraged friends and parishioners 
to do God's work in the community by helping others, especially those 
in need, and becoming one of God's ``coworkers.'' Mr. Speaker, today I 
want to join all of the Reverend Schaum's ``coworkers'' in thanking him 
for his years of service to the community and wishing him the very best 
this Sunday, and in the future.
