                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 20, 1999

  Mr. ENGEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to give tribute and thanks to 
Stephen Lieb who is retiring as Director of the Northeast Bronx 
Education Park. For many years he taught our children, before rising to 
administrative posts in the school district.
  He was born and raised in New York City, educated in its public 
schools and has a B.S. from Hunter College, his M.S. from Fordham 
University and additional graduate work at Pace University and the 
University of Washington.
  His initial assignment was teaching science at J.H.S. 163. In 1970 he 
transferred to I.S. 180 as Science Chairman and he was named 
Planetarium Director when that facility was completed.
  Among his accomplishments was the full air conditioning of the five 
schools in the Park, and the installation of the data communications 
system. He has worked for 30 years with the Greater New York Council, 
Boy Scouts of America and takes 30 fatherless boys to camp every year. 
He also founded a scholarship program. In his retirement as Director of 
the Education Park, he leaves a hole that will be difficult to fill. I 
congratulate him for all of his good work and wish him the very best in 
retirement.
