                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JOSEPH CROWLEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 15, 2000

  Mr. CROWLEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Howard M. Feuer for 
his long and distinguished career of service to the Social Security 
Administration. Next week, Mr. Feuer will retire after 40 years of 
service to the Agency.
  In this era of frequent career changes, Mr. Feuer's 40 years of 
service should be duly noted. He is one of the most respected and 
experienced Area Directors in the Social Security Administration. For 
half of his 40 year career, Mr. Feuer has served as an Area Director. 
He oversees the operations of 26 field offices in Brooklyn, Queens, 
Nassau and Suffolk Counties in New York State, including a staff of 
over 800 SSA employees.
  Throughout his career with Social Security, he has received many 
awards, including a Commissioner's Citation for his dedication to 
achieving the administration's goals of service to the public and value 
of its employees.
  Howard Feuer earned a BBA and an MBA from CCNY-Baruch College. He has 
held many positions in both Social Security offices and the New York 
Regional Office. Mr. Feuer has been an innovator, embracing 
technological enhancements and maximizing the efficacy of his Area's 
resources. He has been a mentor to many of the management staff in the 
Region and is a recognized leader among Area Directors throughout the 
country. For 25 years, he has been directly involved in labor relations 
activities, including contract negotiations on the regional and 
national levels.
  Howard M. Feuer is a man of incredible vision and foresight. His 
career has been dedicated to a level of service and efficiency that has 
no comparison. His commitment to the achievement of the goals of the 
Social Security Administration has been demonstrated in his unceasing 
efforts to improve the quality and productivity of his offices. Howard 
Feuer is now retiring from government service after a distinguished 
career. I know that his absence will be felt by staff nationally, 
regionally and locally.
  Mr. Speaker, please join me in commending Howard M. Feuer. With his 
retirement, the American public will be losing one of its most 
dedicated public servants.
