                      IN HONOR OF BRIAN L. GOTLIEB

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ANTHONY D. WEINER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, June 6, 2006

  Mr. WEINER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of long time 
community activist, Brian L. Gotlieb, upon his completion of service as 
Chairman of Community Board 13 in Brooklyn. Brian L. Gotlieb has proven 
himself to be a tireless fighter on behalf of his neighbors and our 
community.
  While Brian's service to Community Board 13 started long before his 
appointment as chairman, serving as a member of the Board's Youth 
Services, Education & Library, and Housing, Zoning & Land Use 
committees, he never limited his community activism to just one 
organization. Brian L. Gotlieb founded Shorefront Toys for Tots, to 
distribute toys to needy children during the holiday season, served as 
a member of the Community School Board for District 21, and as 
President of the Brighton-Atlantic Unit 1671 of B'nai B'rith helped 
that unit expand their outreach effort to other religious, ethnic and 
civic groups.
  Brian L. Gotlieb was taught civic responsibility by example, and I am 
sure his mother Myrna, of blessed memory, would be proud of his 
accomplishments, which include being honored by many of the 
organizations he has served or supported as well as being a practicing 
attorney.
  Therefore, on behalf of the United States House of Representatives, I 
congratulate Brian L. Gotlieb upon the completion of his service as 
Chairman of Community Board 13 in Brooklyn and thank him for his many 
years of hard work on behalf of my constituents and the City of New 
York.
