  Mrs. MALONEY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise to salute the Lenox 
Hill Democratic Club. This month, the Lenox Hill Club celebrates 44 
years of service to the community. Founded as part of the reform 
movement in Democratic politics, the Lenox Hill Club has developed a 
reputation for championing progressive causes and candidates.
  The Lenox Hill Democratic Club is composed of a concerned group of 
citizens eager to assist their neighbors. For the tenant, the elderly, 
or the women facing discrimination, the Lenox Hill Club is a place to 
turn for help.
  In addition to working on behalf of the community, the members of the 
Lenox Hill Club have helped ensure the election of numerous progressive 
leaders. Located in the ``silk-stocking district'' on the East side of 
Manhattan, the Lenox Hill Club has been a source of strength for many 
of the most prominent leaders of our era, including Ed Koch, Mario 
Cuomo and Jimmy Carter.

  Since its founding, the Lenox Hill Club has been dedicated to 
reforming the political process and expanding citizen participation. 
For more than forty years, the Lenox Hill Club has championed 
education, the environment, civil rights, world peace and many other 
causes.
  Through their efforts to assist individuals, the Lenox Hill Club has 
improved countless lives. Through their help in electing progressive 
leaders, Lenox Hill has helped transform the political landscape of our 
city, state and nation. This is indeed an admirable testament to the 
valuable contributions of the Lenox Hill Club.
