                          Monday, June 7, 1999

  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
contributions of Ruth Hyman to the Jewish Community Center of Monmouth 
County. Ruth has been involved with the Jewish Community Center's 
Capital Campaign since its inception.
  The Community Center will be holding several events to honor Ruth's 
work. The Capital Campaign's building will be named after her to 
recognize her commitment.
  Ruth's efforts to help the Jewish Community Center have made her a 
leader to the community. She is a member of the Board of Trustees, 
Board of Governors, and a Benefactor on a variety of committees. Ruth 
is President of Hadassah. Her insight and encouragement provide an 
example and inspiration to many.

  Ruth is a Life Member of B'nai Brith and has received awards from 
many organizations, including the Jewish Federation Women's Campaign. 
The Jewish Federation selected her as ``Lay Leader of the Year''.
  In addition to her community work, Ruth Hyman worked for four decades 
on her own clothing business. The quality of her merchandise and her 
concern for each of her customers helped her gain a loyal base of 
customers, many of whom became her close friends.
  Ruth Hyman has demonstrated dedication to our community. I hope that 
all of my colleagues will join me in recognition of her work.
