                         HONORING MAX POMERANC

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. ANTHONY D. WEINER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, April 6, 2011

  Mr. WEINER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Max Pomeranc. 
Mr. Pomeranc has been a member of my staff since 2007. For almost four 
years, he has served the United States Congress and the people of 
Brooklyn and Queens with honor and distinction.
  Max is a native New Yorker who brought the characteristics associated 
with being a New Yorker to work with him every day: hard-nosed 
determination, a keen sense of justice and fairness, and a strong 
willed refusal to allow any of my constituents to get anything less 
than fierce advocacy and unyielding assistance from my office.
  Over his many years of service, Mr. Pomeranc helped secure millions 
of dollars for the communities I represent. He worked with all levels 
of government to get the 9th district in New York as much funding as 
possible. Max oversaw the operations in my office that protected the 
elderly and disabled, give a voice in government to the 
disenfranchised, and honored the sense among citizens that elected 
officials are here to help people, first and foremost.
  Max steered my district ship through many battles. There was an 
historic presidential election, budget battles with an all-time 
feverish pitch, and the passing of the most sweeping health care reform 
legislation since the creation of Medicare.
  This chapter of Max's storied career gives way to his next adventure, 
and I rise to give him due recognition. He will be missed by his 
colleagues, my constituents, and by me.
