                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 18, 2000

  Mr. COYNE. Mr. Speaker, today I acknowledge an upcoming event in my 
district. The Hillel Academy of Pittsburgh will recognize three 
individuals who have made significant contributions to the quality of 
life in our community.
  Former Mayor of Pittsburgh Sophie Masloff will be honored for her 
many years of public service. Under her leadership the City weathered 
some difficult challenges and laid the groundwork for the prosperity 
that it is enjoying today. I had the honor and pleasure of working with 
Mayor Masloff during that time, and I was always impressed by her 
energy and her dedication to the people of the City of Pittsburgh.
  Hillel Academy will also honor Zvi and Rina Shuldiner, who have 
served Hillel in a number of capacities, including their work as 
faculty members and as volunteer chairpersons for major school events. 
They have been involved in a number of activities that have benefited 
the Jewish community in Pittsburgh. The Shuldiners, it should be noted, 
are also the proud parents of three Hillel alumni.
  I congratulate Mayor Masloff and Zvi and Rina Shuldiner, and I want 
to thank both them and the Hillel Academy for their efforts to improve 
the quality of life in Pittsburgh.
