               90TH ANNIVERSARY OF CATHOLIC CHARITIES USA

 Mr. MOYNIHAN. Mr. President, I want to congratulate the 
Catholic Charities USA on this their 90th anniversary of commitment to 
social change. Their organization has done tremendous work in the 
community towards reducing poverty and working with lawmakers to 
improve so many lives.
  Catholic Charities USA began as a small group called the National 
Conference of Catholic Churches in 1910, with the goal in mind of 
providing legal representation for impoverished persons. They have 
grown under the current leadership of Father Kammer, SJ, to include 
after-school programs and parenting classes, all of which have made an 
impact on the people they have touched. In celebrating their 90th 
anniversary, I want to thank Catholic Charities USA for their devotion 
in developing stronger families and neighborhoods and wish them many 
more years of success.
