                         Tuesday, May 25, 1999

  Mrs. MEEK of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Mr. 
Irving Littman, who will celebrate his 80th birthday on July 27, 1999. 
Mr. Littman served with the First Field General Hospital in the 
invasion of North Africa in World War II. As a sergeant at that time, 
it was his duty to give anesthesia in the operating room to soldiers 
wounded in combat. Mr. Littman was awarded many citations and medals 
for his four years of gallant military service to his country.
  Upon return to the United States after the war, Mr. Littman became 
one of the youngest Lincoln-Mercury dealers in our nation. He retired 
to Florida. He campaigned for elected officials, and was the secretary/
treasurer for the Milton Littman Scholarship Foundation, which to date 
has presented 236 one-thousand-dollar scholarships to worthy young 
students from four different high schools in Dade County.
  Mr. Littman is married to his beloved wife, Mavis, and they have a 
loving daughter, Francine. It is a privilege to pay tribute to such a 
compassionate American citizens as Mr. Irving Littman on the occasion 
of his upcoming birthday, and I wish him many more years of health and 
success in the service of his community.
