                     IN RECOGNITION OF BETTY GALLER

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. GARY L. ACKERMAN

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 24, 2001

  Mr. ACKERMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Betty 
Galler as she is honored by the Free Sons of Israel at it's Foundation 
Fund's 75th Anniversary Celebration, for her 72 years of dedicated 
service to the organization.
  In the past 72 years Betty has unselfishly led the Foundation Fund in 
numerous humanitarian efforts. The long and impressive list includes 
donations to Camp Vacamas--(a camp for underprivileged children)--
ambulances for American Red Mogen David in Israel, purchasing prothesis 
for those wounded in the Six Day War, and parties at the Kingsbridge 
Veterans Hospital and at Francis Delafield Hospital. That is only a few 
of the wonderful causes to which Betty has dedicated her time and 
energy.
  It is obvious what a remarkable human being Betty is. The Free Sons 
of Israel, the nation's oldest Jewish fraternal order, and the Free 
Sons Foundation Fund is extremely fortunate to have a person like Betty 
Galler working for them. Now at the age of 93, she shows no signs of 
ending her long and unbelievable career.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask all my colleagues in the House of Representatives 
to join me now in extending our thanks and appreciation to Betty 
Galler, the Guest of Honor at the Free Sons
