                      TRIBUTE TO SAMUEL G. FREDMAN

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. NITA M. LOWEY

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Monday, September 25, 2000

  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, today I express my great admiration for 
Judge Samuel G. Fredman, a man of high principle, piercing 
intelligence, and boundless commitment to service.
  Admitted to the Bar more than fifty years ago, Judge Fredman has 
always expressed a burning passion for the law and for the enduring 
principles upon which it is based. First in private practice, and then 
as a New York State Supreme Court Justice, Judge Fredman has been 
universally recognized for his integrity, decency, and legal acumen.
  Judge Fredman's contributions to our community, however, extend far 
beyond his professional obligations. He has been among the great 
political leaders in Westchester's history, chairing the Westchester 
County Democratic Committee, helping to lead the New York State 
Democratic Committee, and inspiring countless men and women to seek 
public office.
  At the same time, Judge Fredman has devoted considerable time and 
energy to a wide variety of community organizations. Whether raising 
funds for the White Plains Hospital, helping to shape the charters of 
White Plains and Westchester, building support for local libraries, or 
leading the Westchester Jewish Conference, Judge Fredman commands the 
trust and respect of all with whom he works.
  It is entirely fitting that Judge Fredman should be recognized for a 
lifetime of remarkable service and for the high ideals he so clearly 
embodies. I am pleased to join the chorus of tribute for a good friend 
and outstanding human being.
