  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in honor of Mort Weisberg, 
recipient of the Jewish National Fund's Tree of Life Award.
  The Tree of Life Award is one of the Jewish National Fund's highest 
honors; a humanitarian award given in recognition of outstanding 
community involvement, leadership and service. Furthermore, the award 
is a symbol of a strong and improved Israel and allegiance to American-
Israeli friendship.
  Mr. Weisberg is the president and chief executive of Multi-Care 
Management, a nursing home operator, in the Greater Cleveland area. In 
addition to running a successful care-taking facility, Mort is the 
chairman of the Ohio Board of Examiners of Nursing Home Administrators. 
His active and generous participation in numerous Cleveland area 
charities further exhibits his commitment to the community.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor of Mort 
Weisberg for being presented the Tree of Life Award by the Jewish 
National Fund. I offer my congratulations to Mort as he is recognized 
for his service to the communities of Cleveland and dedication to a 
strong American-Israeli relationship.
