  Mrs. LOWEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize Mr. Sid Lapidus, who is 
receiving a Lifetime Achievement Award from United Jewish Appeal (UJA) 
Federation of New York.
  Mr. Lapidus retired in 2007 after a long, distinguished career as a 
partner of Warburg Pincus LLC, a private equity firm in New York City. 
He previously worked at the Securities and Exchange Commission and 
today sits on the board of two publicly traded companies, Lennar 
Corporation and Knoll, Inc.
  Outside of work, Sid has dedicated his time to charitable 
organizations. He has held numerous roles within UJA Federation, 
including serving as a board member, chair of the Network, Commission, 
and member of the Finance and Executive Committees. In addition, Mr. 
Lapidus is passionate about cultural artifacts and heritage, serving as 
a trustee and chair of both the Finance Committee of the Center for 
Jewish History and the Library Committee of the New York Historical 
Society.
  Mr. Speaker, Sid Lapidus has had an exceptional career and has 
dedicated himself to improving the lives of others. I urge my 
colleagues to join me in commending him for receiving the Lifetime 
Achievement Award from UJA Federation of New York.
