                         Monday, June 17, 2002

  Mr. ISRAEL. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Susan Lustig for 
her 15 years of distinguished service as the Executive Director of the 
Suffolk Jewish Communal Planning Council.
  Susan Lustig embodies the heart and soul of Jewish life in Suffolk 
County. Under Susan's leadership the Suffolk Jewish Communal Planning 
Council has expanded in both stature and influence. She has overseen 
the publication of many editions of the Suffolk Jewish Directory, the 
Suffolk Jewish Communal Planning Council's signature publication. 
Additionally, new projects have been developed under her tenure to meet 
the needs of a growing Jewish community. These include the Suffolk 
Anti-Bias Task Force, the M'Yad L'Yad-Helping Hands assistance program, 
the Conversion to Judaism Resource Center and the Suffolk Jewish 
Community Kallah Education Program.
  Susan is an avid supporter of strong U.S.-Israel relations. During 
the Israeli Teen Delegation's annual visit to our community, Susan 
escorted the delegation throughout Long Island. She continues to pledge 
her friendship and support for Israel through her charismatic nature 
and judicious course of actions.
  It is with great pride that I recognize the years of service Susan 
has given to her community and bring her achievements to the attention 
of Congress.
