  Mrs. CAROLYN B. MALONEY of New York. Madam Speaker, I rise today to 
pay tribute to my dear friend, Patricia Falkenberg who has dedicated 
her life to advancing Jewish causes and supporting the arts.

College in 2019.
  Mrs. Falkenberg is dedicated to supporting the arts and has served as 
an advisory board member of the Mount Holyoke College Art Museum for 15 
years. To expand the Art Museum's reach Mrs. Falkenberg and her husband 
established the Patricia and Edward Falkenberg Lecture Series which 
arranges talks and exhibitions on campus from notable figures in the 
art world like Ai Weiwei.
  Mrs. Falkenberg is also deeply involved in supporting Jewish causes. 
She has been a member of the American Jewish Committee's Board of 
Governors for over 30 years and recently served as President of AJC's 
Women's Leadership Board.
  Madam Speaker, Mrs. Falkenberg is a dear friend of mine who continues 
to inspire me with her tireless advocacy and charitable work. I ask my 
colleagues to join me in recognizing the many contributions that 
Patricia Falkenberg has made to New York City and wishing her every 
future success.
