              WELL DESERVED RECOGNITION FOR NANCY KAUFMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. BARNEY FRANK

                            of massachusetts

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 7, 2000

  Mr. FRANK of Massachusetts. Mr. Speaker, I was very pleased--but not 
at all surprised--to learn that on June 7, the Jewish Community 
Relations Council of Greater Boston will be honoring Nancy Kaufman, who 
has for ten years now been the Executive Director of that important and 
well run organization. Nancy Kaufman personifies the best in the Jewish 
tradition, and she is also an outstanding example of the spirit of 
community caring that is so important in America. Under her leadership, 
the JCRC has played an extremely significant role in a number of 
aspects of both the Jewish community and the Greater Boston community 
at large. We are very lucky that she has chosen to dedicate her very 
considerable talents to the service of others. Her first rate 
intelligence, her high energy level, her compassion, her wonderful 
ability to work others and to get the best from them--these combined 
make her an extraordinary leader of an extraordinary organization.
  I have personally benefitted innumerable times from her advice and I 
have been proud to work with her on a number of important issues. Few 
people I know have worked harder, more consistently, or with more 
effect to make the world that they live in a better place.
