                       Wednesday, March 16, 2005

  Mr. TOWNS. Mr. Speaker, I rise in honor of Maggie Harvey who has 
committed herself strengthening her community and has had an 
accomplished thirty-year career in finance.
  Maggie was born in Georgetown, Guyana. The second of two girls and 
two boys, she was born to Uric and Gwendoline Harris-Haynes. She was 
baptized in St. George Cathedral.
  During her early years, she was dedicated as a soldier in the 
Salvation Army and worshiped at the Citadel Corp. She received her 
early education and professional training in Guyana and upon 
graduation, accepted the position of personal secretary to the 
Divisional Commander of the Salvation Army.
  In 1970, she immigrated to the United States and married Ronald 
Harvey, who is also Guyanese. Maggie and Ronald have three daughters.
  During her 30 years of employment with JP Morgan Chase & Co., she has 
worked in various departments of the bank. Presently, she is in the 
Legal Department, Corporate Compliance/Money Laundering and Foreign 
Assets Control.
  In 1988, she was received into fellowship at Miracle Temple 
Ministries in Brooklyn (formerly Church of the First Born), where 
Bishop E. Stewart is the Pastor. She serves on the Bishop's Anniversary 
Committee and also has responsibility for the Church's weekly bulletin.
  She is also a Home League Member of the Salvation Army Bedford Temple 
Corp. in Brooklyn. Members of the organization sew handmade blankets, 
lap throws, cosmetic bags for personal items and smocks, which are 
given to the homeless, sick and nursing home shut-ins. Maggie finds 
this work very rewarding, and takes a leading role in the organization 
as the Service Chairperson for the Home Leaguers. She looks forward to 
doing greater things through Christ, which strengthens her.
  Mr. Speaker, Maggie Harvey has served her community while launching a 
successful career in the financial industry. As such, she is more than 
worthy of receiving our recognition today and I urge my colleagues to 
join me in honoring this truly remarkable person.
