   RECOGNIZING THE IMPORTANCE TO THE COMMUNITY OF JEWISH FAMILY AND 
             CHILDREN'S SERVICES ON THEIR 150TH ANNIVERSARY

 Mrs. FEINSTEIN. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize the 
great service that Jewish Family and Children's Services has provided 
the people of San Francisco and the Bay Area for 150 years.
  Since its founding in 1850, Jewish Family and Children's Services has 
been dedicated to alleviating suffering and helping people realize 
their potential. It has grown into one of the region's largest social 
service organizations, with more than 2,100 volunteers helping more 
than 40,000 people a year.
  Jewish Family and Children's Services provides a wide range of 
services from adoption services and child mentoring programs, to 
programs aimed at helping seniors. They also have many programs 
designed to help people with special needs such as AIDS counseling and 
care management, and alcohol and substance abuse programs.
  Over the past 150 years, Jewish Family and Children's Services has 
improved the quality of life for thousands of people. Please join me in 
honoring this outstanding organization.
