  Ms. FRANKEL of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate Edith 
Lederberg, who turns 85 years old in August. Edith is a vibrant member 
of our community, and a true friend and advocate to senior citizens 
locally, state-wide, and across the country. Edith has worked for the 
Aging and Disability Resource Center for 37 years. She currently serves 
as Executive Director, a position she has held since 1986. As Executive 
Director, she plans, coordinates, and directs senior programming and 
advocates on behalf of seniors at the local, state, and national level. 
She also raises financial resources to support programs for Older 
Americans residing in Broward County.
  Ms. Lederberg has been recognized for her dedication several times 
over the course of her successful career, including her selection as a 
Media Representative and then as a Regular Delegate to the White House 
Conference on Aging. She served as President of the Florida Association 
of Area Agencies on Aging, and as Vice Chair of Broward's 
Transportation Disadvantaged Coordinating Board for almost 18 years. 
She has been elected to the Broward Women's Hall of Fame and the 
Broward Senior Hall of Fame.
  These are just a few from her long list of accomplishments. Ms. 
Lederberg was born in Freeport, New York and she has three children and 
four grandchildren. She is a truly exceptional woman and I know I join 
with her friends and family in celebrating her birthday. I wish her 
good health and continued success in the coming year.
