                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, November 16, 1999

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize the achievements of 
community activist, Elizabeth McIntosh.
  Mrs. McIntosh is a native of Aiken, South Carolina. She received her 
formal education in Jacksonville, Florida and came to New York in 1935, 
where she was employed in the garment district. Later, she was employed 
by the New York City Transit Authority and retired from NYCTA after 
thirty years of service.
  She is a dedicated and faithful member of Universal Baptist Church, 
where she serves as a deaconess. Mrs. McIntosh enjoys working with and 
helping others whenever and wherever she can. She contributes her time 
to the Stuyvesant Heights Landmark Senior Citizen Center where she is 
also a member and the Retired Senior Volunteer Program (RSVP) of the 
Community Service Society.
  For many years, Mrs. McIntosh has made significant contributions to 
the growth and development of the Unity Democratic Club. Her exemplary 
leadership and commitment as Chaplain, a member of the Executive Board, 
The Women's Auxiliary and numerous other committees related to campaign 
and election activities is an inspiration to the Club.
  In addition, she is a member of the National Council of Negro Women, 
The 81st Precinct Community Council, The Good Neighbor Block 
Association, The Church Women United of Brooklyn and the NAACP. 
Elizabeth McIntosh has shown courage and determination in whatever task 
she undertakes. She leaves an indelible impression on everyone she 
meets. The strong desire to help and a love for humanity keeps Mrs. 
McIntosh on the move.
  I commend the accomplishments of Elizabeth McIntosh to the attention 
of my colleagues.
