                       Tuesday, November 14, 2000

  Mrs. McCARTHY of New York. Mr. Speaker, today I commend the 
outstanding service of Dr. Marcia Posner and Phyllis and Stanley 
Sanders as they are honored by the Holocaust Memorial and Educational 
Center of Nassau County.
  For the past eight years, the Holocaust Memorial and Educational 
Center for Nassau County has honored citizens who make selfless 
contributions of time and effort, not only to the Jewish community, but 
to the community at large. This year, they chose three wonderfully 
committed and inspiring individuals.
  Dr. Marcia Posner works as a librarian and administrator at the 
Holocaust Memorial and Educational Center. Through her tireless work 
ethic she developed a library containing over 3,000 volumes and tapes, 
amassing a wealth of resources about the Holocaust. As Vice President 
of Programming, Dr. Posner is responsible for the development and 
execution of a large number of the programs, making the Center a pillar 
in the Long Island community.
  Phyllis and Stanley Sanders exhibited exceptional leadership bringing 
success and benefits to countless organizations. Over the years, 
Phyllis and Stanley, often referred to as the ``Dynamic Duo,'' 
committed themselves to a variety of causes affecting the Jewish 
community. Together, they are responsible, among other accomplishments, 
for education fund-raising and air-lifting refugees from Russia to 
Israel. Their inexhaustible and creative efforts continue to inspire a 
multitude of organizations toward achieving higher goals.
  I applaud the service and commitment of Dr. Marcia Posner and Phyllis 
and Stanley Saunders. The Long Island community as a whole
