                HONORING THE LATE ALMA BEATTY OF NEWARK

  (Mr. PAYNE asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Ms. Alma Beatty, a 
longtime vice president of Community Affairs at Newark Beth Israel 
Medical Center who passed away earlier this year.
  Ms. Beatty was born in Newark, New Jersey, and became one of the 
city's most beloved citizens through her 45 years of service at ``The 
Beth.''
  Under Ms. Beatty's leadership, ``The Beth'' became a model of 
excellence in protecting the most vulnerable among us. Thanks to her 
vision, ``The Beth'' instituted a number of community service programs 
that continue to this day, including Adopt a Child Christmas Program.
  Last month, I had the honor of participating in a ceremony to change 
the name of Newark's Osborne Terrace to ``Alma Beatty Way.'' It is a 
fitting recognition to Ms. Beatty's contributions to the city of 
Newark, the county of Essex, the State of New Jersey, and the United 
States of America.
  To Ms. Beatty's family I send my thoughts and prayers and continued 
love for the work that she has done in our community.
