  Mr. TOWNS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the work and 
achievements of Chamberlain S. Peterside, Ph.D. Chamberlain is the CEO 
and founder of the New Era Capital Corporation, a New York City-based 
financial services group. Chamberlain worked previously as a Certified 
Financial Manager with Merrill Lynch, Global Private Client Group and 
HSBC Bank in New York City, where he assisted high net-worth clients 
and institutional investors in developing strategies for managing their 
portfolio.
  Chamberlain graduated with a Ph.D. in Finance and Economics from 
Friendship University in Moscow. He carries with him more than 15 years 
of diverse business development, management consulting and financial 
advisory experience from his work in Africa, Europe and the United 
States.
  Upon graduation, Chamberlain began his career as a business 
consultant in his own firm, Value Adding Consulting Group, Inc, with 
offices located in both Moscow and London. He advised domestic and 
foreign companies on the intricacies and modalities for expanding their 
operations in the new markets of Eastern Europe and the former Soviet 
Union.
  Chamberlain received the ``40 Under 40'' achievement award in June of 
2001 from the Network Journal in New York for outstanding academic, 
professional and community service accomplishments. He has also served 
as an Adjunct Associate Professor of Finance and Business Management at 
ASA Institute of Business Management and Advanced Technology.
  Currently, through New Era, Chamberlain is instrumental in developing 
and financing multi-million dollar telecommunication, hospitality, real 
estate, and oil and gas industries in Africa. He writes on many 
economic issues in regard to business development, and has appeared on 
the CNN program ``In the Money,'' where he discussed the need for a new 
approach in regard to economic reform efforts in Africa.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize the work of Chamberlain S. 
Peterside, Ph.D.. for his countless academic and economic 
accomplishments. I urge my colleagues to join me in paying tribute to 
Chamberlain S. Peterside.
