                         TRIBUTE TO FAYE MANGER

  Mr. LIEBERMAN, Mr. President, I come to the floor today to celebrate 
the 85th birthday of a truly extraordinary woman, my Aunt Faye.
  Throughout her life, Faye Manger has been committed to philanthropy 
and community service. She established deep roots in Stamford, CT, 
where she and her late husband; my Uncle Ben, a successful business 
entrepreneur, established the B.L. Manger Foundation. The foundation, 
which Faye has continued since Ben's untimely death in 1995, has 
supported numerous Jewish charitable, educational, and cultural causes. 
It has also donated money to advance medical research.
  In addition to her work with the foundation, Faye is involved in 
synagogue and community activities in Stamford. She has received 
numerous awards and honors for her commitment to charities throughout 
the United States and Israel. During World War II, Faye served her 
country in the Women's Army Corps at Fort Monmouth, NJ.
  Aside from all of her great works, Faye is a loving mother, 
grandmother and aunt. Faye's and Ben's humanitarian spirit can be seen 
in their four children--Joyce, Marc, Renee, and Steven. All four have 
taken an active role in charitable activities. In fact, on November 28, 
Faye and her children were honored by the American Committee for Shaare 
Zedek Medical Center in Jerusalem for funding the hospital's pediatric 
ophthalmology Clinic.
  Looking back at all she has already done, it would be understandable 
why one might expect her to take it easy and relax. But, if I know my 
Aunt Faye, she has a lot of good works she will still do, and, with 
God's help, a lot of great times our family will share together.
  Thank you, Aunt Faye, for all you have done to make Stamford, and the 
rest of the world, a better place, and for all you have meant to all of 
us who are blessed to be your family and friends.
