                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 25, 1998

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Edward A. 
Weinstein, an individual who through his public service, especially in 
New York, is an invaluable asset to our communities. Through his 37-
year tenure at Deloitte & Touche LLP, Mr. Weinstein has made a 
tremendous impact to both his profession, and the community.
  During his college days at Columbia College, Mr. Weinstein received 
academic honors and distinctions in economics. As a graduate student, 
he received his M.B.A. from The Wharton School. Mr. Weinstein was also 
a member of the Beta Alpha Psi and Beta Gamma Sigma honor societies at 
The Wharton School. The hard work ethic that led to his academic 
success has carried on to his success, not only as a devout father of 
two children, but also into his vast public service contributions to 
society. Mr. Weinstein is past President of the New York State Society 
of Certified Public Accountants and is a past Vice President and member 
of its Board of Directors. He was also a member of the Council of the 
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants and has been 
chairman and a member of many committees of the New York State Society 
of CPAs and AICPA.
  Mr. Weinstein is the author of several articles dealing with the 
numerous topics that have been published in prominent publications such 
as The CPA Journal, The Journal of Accountancy, the Credit and 
Financial Management Magazine, and many others. In 1975, he won the Max 
Block Award of The CPA Journal for his article entitled ``A Time of 
Travail and Challenge''. Mr. Weinstein is also an individual who has 
been very involved in civic activities. He has been an advisor to a 
Junior Achievement Group as well as a member of the Financial Advisory 
Committee of the Salvation Army. He has been a trustee of The 
International House, the Fairmont Park Council for Historic Sites, the 
World Affairs Council, and the Federation of Jewish Agencies of Greater 
Philadelphia. Mr. Weinstein is very active with the United Way, and in 
1992, both the NYSSCPA and AICPA recognized him with awards for his 
public service. Currently, he serves as a Board member of the New York 
City Police Foundation and the Cooper Hewitt National Museum of Design 
in New York.
  Mr. Speaker, it is with great honor that I pay tribute to Edward A. 
Weinstein, a member of the community who throughout his life has always 
been active in society and through his service has given back 
innumerable amounts of resources to the community.
