                            LILLIAN GOLDMAN

 Mrs. CLINTON. Mr. President, on August 20, New York lost one 
of its finest citizens. Lillian Goldman was a beautiful woman, inside 
and out. She was also committed, wise and generous. I was fortunate 
enough to be Lillian's friend, and I know how much her friendship meant 
to me and to so many others. I witnessed the effects she had on people 
and their futures. Four years ago, Lillian gave a significant gift to 
the 92nd Street Y for the family center. Two years ago, I was 
privileged to attend the dedication of the Lillian Goldman Law Library 
at Yale Law School. Among the many things about which she cared was the 
ability of women to make careers in the law, and especially to be 
educated at Yale Law School. Not only would she provide the 
scholarships to make that possible, she would have the foresight to 
support daycare at the law school, as well.
  Women, children and their families, will be indebted to Lillian 
Goldman, her generosity and her progressivism for many generations to 
come.
