                       HONORING HATTIE LEE WHITE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. EDOLPHUS TOWNS

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 27, 2000

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Hattie Lee White, a 
lifelong resident of Brooklyn, and to celebrate with her today her 75th 
birthday. I ask my colleagues assembled here today to please join me in 
acknowledging Mrs. White's remarkable life.
  On this day, September 27th, in 1925, J.D. and Rosalie Carter were 
blessed with the birth of their daughter, Hattie. As a young girl, 
Hattie possessed excellence, greatness, the favor of God, love and 
honor, the law of kindness in tongue, morality and character. Hattie 
married Dennis White, and their union was blessed with seven beautiful 
children: Vernice, Jonathan, Gloria, Marilyn, Andre, Denise and Iris. 
These children have honored their parents with 24 grandchildren, and 23 
great grandchildren.
  All of the amazing blessings bestowed upon Hattie White are the 
result of a God-centered life, as Mrs. White is a committed member of 
Zion Shiloh Baptist Church. She also serves as secretary for her 
neighborhood block association, where she is active in the community in 
lobbying for issues that affect seniors. In her spare time, she enjoys 
cooking, gardening and traveling.
  Mr. Speaker, Hattie Lee White is more than worthy of receiving our 
birthday wishes, and I hope that all of my colleagues will join me 
today in honoring this truly remarkable woman.
