HONORING MAZAL MENASCHE UNTERMEYER -- (Extensions of Remarks - June 04, 2004)

SPEECH OF
HON. PETER DEUTSCH
OF FLORIDA
IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES
FRIDAY, JUNE 4, 2004

Mr. DEUTSCH. Mr Speaker, I rise today to express my appreciation for the work of an exceptional young woman, Ms. Mazal Menasche Untermeyer of the Ben Lipson Hillel Community High School in North Miami Beach, FL. Mazal, a confident, bright, and charming high school junior, has worked as my nominee for the U.S. House of Representatives Democratic Page Program during the 2004 spring session. Sadly, today is her last day.

While in Washington, Mazal completed her duties as a Page with the same enthusiasm with which she approaches all of her numerous, diverse commitments. Mazal is an honor student, an award-winning member of her school's debate team, and volunteers at a local homeless shelter, tutors in a number of subjects, and has visited disadvantaged children in her home town. Mazal has not only done a wonderful job as a House Page, but she has also been a caring member of the South Florida community, earned the highest marks as student, and, as my staff can attest, has also mastered the arts of the brownie-baking and legging out an infield single in Congressional softball. Mr. Speaker, it was a pleasure to have a Page as hard-working and enthusiastic as Mazal. She has a bright future ahead of her and I wish her the very best.
