                   IN RECOGNITION OF HENRY S. LANDAU

 Mr. LEVIN. Mr. President, I rise to congratulate Henry S. 
Landau on receiving the Humanitarian Award of the Jewish Federation of 
Washtenaw County, Michigan. Mr. Landau is being honored by the Jewish 
Federation as a ``builder of our future,'' because of the outstanding 
work he has done to establish programs and institutions to provide 
education and job training in the community.
  Henry Landau has served his community, state, and country in 
countless ways. He served as a trustee of Washtenaw Community College 
from 1976 to 1982. He also served as chair of the Washtenaw Community 
College Foundation and was later honored by the college with a lifetime 
achievement award and an endowed scholarship. Mr. Landau was a Senior 
Life Director of the National Association of Home Builders and a 
trustee of the Home Builders Institute. Mr. Landau also served as 
President of the Michigan Association of Home Builders and was a board 
member for eighteen years.
  Henry Landau was instrumental in establishing a unique and innovative 
program in the Ann Arbor Public School System to teach high school 
students about the building trades by allowing them to build an actual 
home. This successful program continues and is now financed through the 
sale of the homes built by students. The construction industry later 
honored Mr. Landau's efforts with the H.S. Landau Scholarship, which is 
awarded annually and benefits a graduate of the Ann Arbor student 
building program.
  Mr. President, I have mentioned only a small sampling of the many 
ways in which Henry Landau has used his vitality, creativity and hard 
work to make his community and our nation a better place to live. I 
know my colleagues will join me in honoring Henry Landau for his many 
extraordinary efforts on behalf of his community.
