                       Wednesday, March 24, 1999

  Mr. HASTINGS of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I would like to enter into the 
Congressional Record the following statement which was delivered to the 
Women's International League for Peace and Freedom when they honored 
Ms. Susan Glaser of West Palm Beach, Florida.

                                     House of Representatives,

                                   Washington, DC, March 18, 1999.
     Women's International League for Peace and Freedom,
     West Palm Beach, Florida
       It is my great pleasure to join with you in honoring Susan 
     Glaser. During the time Susan was employed in my office, she 
     worked tirelessly on behalf of people in need of Social 
     Security benefits, Medicare and federal housing assistance. 
     She was particularly effective at helping first generation 
     Americans adjust to the complexities of life in this country. 
     Widely known as a concerned, compassionate person, Susan 
     always presented a positive image for me when representing me 
     at public events.
       I congratulate WILPF for giving Susan the recognition she 
     deserves. She has spent a lifetime fighting for all the 
     things we truly care about. She has always been an effective 
     organizer, drawing the attention of her fellow citizens to 
     the need for refugee aid and food and shelter for the 
     homeless. Susan has also been noted for her history on the 
     front lines of the Civil Rights movement and for speaking out 
     against the injustices perpetrated on the peoples of Central 
     America.
       I am glad to add my voice to the many others who are 
     singing Susan's praises today. She is a wonderful person who 
     truly deserves the many accolades she receives. 
     Congratulations, Susan! I am very, very proud of you!
           In Peace,
                                                Alcee L. Hastings,
                                               Member of Congress.
