                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 10, 2001

  Mr. ISRAEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Mr. Mark Broxmeyer; 
entrepreneur, community activist, and friend. On the occasion of 
today's dinner, benefiting the Greene Emergency Center of the North 
Shore University Hospital, it is appropriate to pay tribute to a man 
who has dedicated himself to improving our communities.
  Twenty-eight years ago, Mr. Broxmeyer founded Fairfield Properties, 
which, through years of hard work and determination, has grown into a 
complex network of properties including over 8,000 units in Long Island 
and beyond. His professional success has earned him the respect of many 
in the fields of building and real estate, resulting in a cover story 
on his success in Builder and Remodeler News and a profile in the real 
estate section of the New York Times.
  Mr. Broxmeyer has also been a devoted community activist. His 
enthusiasm for our communities on Long Island has resulted in his being 
named ``Man of the Year'' by the United Cerebral Palsy Association and 
an Advocacy Award from Big Brothers/Big Sisters. He was appointed by 
former President Bush to the Board of Directors of the Federal Home 
Loan Bank for the New York Region. He also serves on the Board of 
Directors of the United Nations Economic Development Corporation.
  Mr. Broxmeyer has also served as the Vice President for the Board of 
Trustees of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs and he 
was the recipient of a Leadership Award from the Jewish Institute for 
National Security Affairs, given to him personally by our former 
colleague, Secretary Jack Kemp.
  He has also been active in his Alma Mater, Hofstra University, from 
which he has received an Alumni achievement award and made a member of 
the Board of Trustees.
  Most important of all, I have come to respect his commitment to his 
family. As an entrepreneur, demands on Mark's time must be tremendous, 
yet he still finds time for his children Michael, Evan, Marissa, 
Daniel, and Becky.
  I have been fortunate to know Mark Broxmeyer, and I respect his 
success and his enthusiasm for his community and his loved ones.
