  Mr. TOWNS. Madam Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute and to honor 
Mr. Anderson Hyland. Mr. Hyland is a Certified Public Accountant with a 
great deal of diverse knowledge and experience to draw upon. He holds a 
BA in Business Administration and Accounting from Baruch College, City 
University of New York.
  Mr. Hyland was born in St. Michael, Barbados and attended Coleridge & 
Parry. This provided him with an excellent forum to develop some of his 
diverse interests such as soccer, cricket, traveling, and business. 
Upon graduating, he continued his studies at the O'level Institute 
where he received two A' levels (Law and Accounting) and later worked 
for the Barbados Internal Revenue Department as a Tax Officer.
  Mr. Hyland has extensive experience in British and American tax 
preparation services. This can be seen by the service he provides to 
numerous clients in the New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut region. 
He was formerly the Staff Accountant at Brookdale Hospital, Brooklyn, 
New York and a Tax Preparer at H & R Block and now works as the 
accountant for Local 420 District Council 37 in Lower Manhattan.
  Mr. Hyland feels very privileged to be on the Board of Trustees for 
Glenwood Gardens Condos and is able to serve the community. He is also 
a member of the Institute of Management Accountants (IMA), the 
International Foundation of Employee Benefits, and the Baruch College 
Alumni Association.
  Madam Speaker, I would like to recognize Anderson Hyland for his 
extraordinary contributions to New York City's academic, labor, and 
community institutions.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in paying tribute to 
Anderson Hyland.
