                       Thursday, October 12, 2000

  Ms. PELOSI. Mr. Speaker, ten years ago, I had the privilege of 
standing on this floor to wish my dear friend, Henry Berman, a happy 
birthday. It is with great pleasure that I rise today, on the occasion 
of his 90th birthday, to pay tribute again to this wonderful San 
Franciscan.
  Henry Berman continues to be a leader in San Francisco. He serves 
with distinction on the San Francisco Airport Commission and is the 
former chair of the San Francisco Fire Commission. He serves on the 
Executive Committee of the Anti-Defamation League and on the Board of 
Directors of the Northern California American Israel Political Affairs 
Committee. Henry continues his work with Glide Methodist Church on the 
annual fundraising event he helped to create, and he sits on the Board 
of Directors of the Fromm Institute for Lifelong Learning.
  Henry Berman, however, is more than the sum of his affiliations. He 
is an extraordinary man whose energy and enthusiasm for life are 
contagious. His commitment to the poor, the marginalized, and those in 
great need is an inspiration to us all, and I am honored to count him 
among my firiends.
  I join his wife, Sally, his sons, Ronald and Robert, and all of his 
family and friends in wishing Henry a happy 90th birthday. 
Congratulations, Henry.
