  Mr. TOWNS. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Jack 
Lefkowitz for his record of extraordinary service to New York's Tenth 
Congressional District.
  Jack Lefkowitz is the President and Chief Executive Officer of New 
York MedScan, providing high quality diagnostic imaging services in a 
comfortable hospital outpatient environment. He greatly contributes to 
the quality of life for Brooklyn's neediest patients, working through 
the organization Yad Ephraim to prepare and deliver home-cooked meals 
tailored to the needs of each patient. Mr. Lefkowitz chairs Maskil El 
Dat, providing financial aid, meals, transportation, babysitting, and 
emotional support for impoverished Jewish families. I applaud Jack 
Lefkowitz's philanthropic activities, contributing both professionally 
and privately in our communities.
  Madam Speaker, I urge my colleagues to join me in recognizing Jack 
Lefkowitz.
