       HONORING ABBY LEVINE ON THE OCCASION OF HIS 90TH BIRTHDAY

  (Mr. KLEIN of Florida asked and was given permission to address the 
House for 1 minute.)
  Mr. KLEIN of Florida. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor a remarkable 
and outstanding member of our community, Mr. Abby Levine. Abby and his 
wife Mildred have devoted their lives to addressing critical social, 
political and humanitarian issues.
  Abby is celebrating an important milestone this week, the occasion of 
his 90th birthday. At nine decades young, Abby, in addition to his 
other commitments, is working to build a vibrant Jewish community among 
young people in South Florida.
  Abby and Mildred helped establish the Levine-Weinberger Jewish Life 
Center at Florida Atlantic University, which has become the nerve 
center of Jewish life on campus. Abby and Mildred are also generous 
supporters of a number of other causes, including the Boca Raton 
Community Hospital, and their dedication to improving our community is 
deeply valued.
  Madam Speaker, I join countless friends, family members and loved 
ones in South Florida in wishing Abby a wonderful birthday, and many 
more years of good health and happiness.
