 HONORING THE MEMORIES OF MORRIS AND BETH FAITELEWICZ AND YEHUDA BAYME

  (Ms. VELAZQUEZ asked and was given permission to address the House 
for 1 minute and to revise and extend her remarks.)
  Ms. VELAZQUEZ. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, three New Yorkers--Morris and 
Beth Faitelewicz, who celebrated their 33rd wedding anniversary in 
June, and Yehuda Bayme, fiance to their only daughter--lost their lives 
in a Sullivan County car accident.
  This tragedy is being felt deeply in the Lower East Side. Not only 
were they respected community members, but Morris and Beth had been 
involved in response and recovery efforts on 9/11.
  Morris served as vice chair of Manhattan's Community Board 3, was 
citywide coordinator and deputy inspector of NYPD's Auxiliary Volunteer 
Emergency Services Rescue Unit in the World Trade Center area, and was 
a dedicated Hatzolah member.
  He was among the first to rush to the World Trade Center. For his 
efforts, he earned a Port Authority exceptional service award and a 
city council proclamation. Beth, an ER nurse, also served with 
distinction after the towers collapsed.
  I ask my colleagues to join me in honoring their memories.
  Rest in peace.
