  Mrs. McCARTHY of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute 
to and wish a very happy birthday to a great New Yorker and wonderful 
American, Jack Rudin. Jack Rudin has served for many years on the 
boards of many of New York's prominent cultural, education and social 
service organizations. He is a current member of the executive

Kettering Cancer Center; an honorary trustee of the American Museum of 
Natural History and of the Congregation Shearith Israel, the Spanish 
and Portugese Synagogue; vice chairman of Jazz at Lincoln Center and 
director of the Hebrew Free Loan Society and the George C. Marshall 
Foundation.
  In addition, Mr. Rudin is a trustee emeritus of Iona College, where 
the Rudins established the Roberta C. Rudin Program in Judeo-Christian 
Studies. As the original sponsor of the New York City Marathon, he is 
also the chairman of that event.
  As a veteran of World War II, he was awarded the Combat Infantryman's 
Badge and the Bronze Star for his courage and patriotism. He also holds 
awards from many organizations, including the Greater New York Councils 
of the Boy Scouts of America, Jewish Theological Seminary for America, 
the Jewish Foundation for Christian Rescuers/ADL, Catholic Charities of 
the Archdiocese of New York, Conservancy for Historic Battery Park, and

and the Hebrew University of Jerusalem.
  Jack Rudin has been a great friend to Long Island. On behalf of Long 
Island, Happy Birthday, Jack!
