                        Tuesday, January 4, 2005

  Ms. EDDIE BERNICE JOHNSON of Texas. Mr. Speaker, it is an honor and a 
privilege for me to pay tribute today to one of the most respected 
community leaders in Dallas, Texas: Bea Weisbrod.
  The name Bea Weisbrod has long been associated with excellence and 
one of our highest standards of civic pride. Bea Weisbrod, on December 
5, 2004 received the Bnai Zion's Lifetime service award. Bea is 
founding member of Bnai Zion-Texas Region and a long-time member of 
Congregation Shearith Israel. Her many years of community service and 
dedication to making a difference in the lives of people in our 
community, as well, as in Israel are truly deserving of our 
appreciation and praise.
  In addition to her professional associations, Bea Weisbrod selflessly 
devotes her personal time to numerous organizations including the 
Hadassah where she serves on the regional board.
  Mr. Speaker, I commend the Bnai Zion Foundation on its excellent 
selection of Bea Weisbrod for its lifetime service award, and I wish 
her sons Les, Carl, and their loving family continued success in all of 
their endeavors.
  I know that Bea Weisbrod will continue to play an important role in 
our community for decades to come, and that America will continue to 
benefit from her dedication, service and hard work.
