               RECOGNIZING THE SERVICE OF MARK BROXMEYER

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. ERIC CANTOR

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, November 8, 2001

  Mr. CANTOR. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize the remarkable 
service of Mark Broxmeyer. On Monday, November 12, 2001, Mr. Broxmeyer 
will be honored at the Holocaust Memorial and the Educational Center of 
Nassau County's 9th Annual Tribute Dinner. He will receive the 
distinguished ``Community Service Award.''
  I have had the pleasure of working with Mark through his role as 
Chairman of the Jewish Institute for National Security Affairs (JINSA). 
Mark has worked tirelessly to provide timely, critical information to 
the Administration, Congress and the media on the national security of 
the United States and the important role of Israel in bolstering 
democracy in the Middle East. Israel is unique in the Middle East 
because it shares our values of democracy and freedom. Mark has been a 
vocal advocate of standing with our allies against terrorists, 
remaining strong in our resolve to work together to defeat them.
  However, Mark's service is not limited by his dedication to defense 
and security issues. He continues his global service on the Board of 
Directors of the United Nation's Economic Development Corporation and 
works tirelessly for national causes including being named ``Man of the 
Year'' by the United Cerebral Palsy Association. Yet service begins at 
home and he serves the health and well-being of his community through 
his work as a trustee of the North Shore Long Island Jewish Health 
System Foundation. He is also a member of the Board of Hofstra 
University.
  Mr. Speaker, Mark Broxmeyer understands the importance of community 
service. The Holocaust Memorial and Educational Center of Nassau County 
have chosen well in recognizing Mark. He has dedicated himself to 
reaching out to the global, national and local communities, truly 
making a difference. I hope you will join me in congratulating Mark on 
this remarkable achievement and in wishing him well as he continues his 
good work.
