HONORING CLAUDE L. AND 

MICHELLE D. WINFIELD 

HON. CAROLYN B. MALONEY OF NEW YORK

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Wednesday, September 19, 2012 

Mrs. MALONEY. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay 

tribute to Claude and Michelle ‘‘Shelley’’ Winfield. The Winfields have made unique personal contributions in their professional lives 

and through their volunteer efforts to benefit 

New Yorkers at-large. 

Mr. and Ms. Winfield have spent the majority of their professional careers in education. 

Mr. Winfield was born in Virginia and moved 

to New York City as a young boy. He earned 

an undergraduate degree in electrical engineering from New York University, and began 

his career working for Western Electric. He 

later earned masters degrees in elementary 

education and education administration from 

City University of New York. Mr. Winfield 

found his true calling when he began teaching. 

He taught 2nd grade English and middle 

school science, and later became the principal 

of Walt Whitman Middle School in Brooklyn, 

which served 1,900 students. Mr. Winfield is a 

strong proponent of the progressive teaching 

methods that he feels benefited him as a 

young student. 

Ms. Winfield grew up in Pennsylvania, and 

earned an undergraduate degree in home economics from Howard University before beginning her teaching career. She received masters degrees in education administration from 

Fordham University and in special education 

from Adelphi University. For 15 years, until her 

retirement in 2002, Ms. Winfield was the beloved Supervisor of Special Education at Robert Wagner Middle School in Manhattan where 

she inspired in her colleagues and students an 

appreciation for the intrinsic value of education. 

The Winfields are deeply involved in the 

community, serving in leadership positions in a 

variety of organizations. Mr. Winfield serves as 

Manhattan Community Board 6 Executive 

Committee Vice Chairman and Chairman of 

the Community Board’s Housing, Homeless 

Services and Human Rights Committee. He 

also volunteers as a docent at the Museum for 

African Art. 

Ms. Winfield is an active member of the of 

the Parent Advisory Board at the National 

Dance Institute. She has been an enthusiastic 

advocate for the program since her son participated in it as a student at P.S. I24M. She 

was appointed by Manhattan Borough President Scott Stringer to serve on the Community 

Advisory Board of Bellevue Hospital Center 

and assists with fundraising for The Duke 

Ellington Society, Inc. in Manhattan. 

Ms. Winfield had an early introduction to the 

civil rights movement as a result of her family’s activism and community service. Her father was a civil rights leader who served as 

President of the North Philadelphia Action 

Branch of the National Association for the Advancement of Colored People (NAACP). In accordance with the family tradition, Mr. and Ms. 

Winfield have worked with the NAACP MidManhattan Branch, which honored them with 

the Distinguished Service Award in 1975. 

The couple is also very involved in local political organizations, including the Samuel J. 

Tilden Democratic Club, for which Ms. Winfield 

serves on the donations committee. In April, 

they received the Samuel J. Tilden Democratic 

Club Humanitarian Award for their tireless advocacy and incredible contributions of their 

time and talents to strengthen the community. 

Married in 1974, Mr. and Ms. Winfield are 

the proud parents of two children, Marie and 

Michael, and adore their son-in-law Konrad 

Pust. They are also loving grandparents to 

their granddaughter, Sophie. 

Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join 

me in recognizing Claude and Shelley Winfield. This remarkable couple are shining examples of selfless devotion to community 

service.

Mr. LATOURETTE. Mr. Speaker, I would 

like to offer my congratulations to Dr. Hillard 

M. Lazarus, in his continued pursuit of excellence in care delivery and commitment to 

medical innovation. During my eighteen year 

tenure in Congress, I have had the great 

honor of working with the University Hospitals 

Systems (UH) in Cleveland, OH, and experiencing firsthand the exceptional commitment 

to increasing the quality of care they provide 

to patients not just from Northeast Ohio, but 

from around the country. I have also had the 

opportunity to develop a personal relationship 

with many members of their dedicated team of 

care providers. 

Dr. Hillard Lazarus is one of those extraordinary members of the UH team. Dr. Lazarus 

has over 30 years of distinguished experience 

in his field, and has served as the Director of 

the Blood and Bone Marrow Transplant Program within the Division of Hematology/Oncology at Seidman Cancer Center for the past 25 

years. In this time, Dr. Lazarus has gained a 

reputation as a leading expert in his field and 

is widely recognized for his contributions in the 

areas of mesenchymal stem cell transplants 

and autologus stem cell transplantation. As a 

pioneer in non-embryonic stem cells and regenerative medicine, Dr. Lazarus performed 

the first stem cell transplant in the state of 

Ohio in 1976 at UH Case Medical Center. 

Dr. Lazarus has been identified as an Outstanding Physician in many national and local 

surveys, was inducted into the Cancer Care 

Hall of Fame and the American Cancer Society, and has received the American Cancer 

Society Lifetime Achievement Research 

Award. He has also authored and co-authored 

over 270 publications in peer-reviewed journals, 46 book chapters and 66 review articles. 

His record of ground-breaking treatments and 

breakthroughs has helped make Seidman 

Cancer Center a leader in the treatment of 

leukemia and other blood disorders. 

Mr. Speaker, I thank you for the opportunity 

to share some of the highlights of the ongoing 

work of Dr. Lazarus with the House of Representatives. It is so important to recognize 

innovators like him, who pave the way for 

medical breakthroughs that increase the duration and quality of life for millions of Americans. I am proud to offer my congratulations 

and thanks to Dr. Lazarus for his outstanding 

achievements and contributions, as well as his

honor of Councilman Zack Reed, who has 

been representing the residents of the Mt.

HONORING THE 10TH ANNIVERSARY OF ONE WORLD NOW! 

HON. JIM McDERMOTT OF WASHINGTON

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Wednesday, September 19, 2012 

Mr. MCDERMOTT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today 

to honor the ten-year anniversary of One 

World Now!, a pioneering, Seattle-based educational program that presents underserved 

youth with the opportunity to learn world languages and cultures through after-school 

classes and study abroad programs. 

When it was founded, One World Now! was 

a pilot program run out of a single public 

school in Seattle with only 12 students enrolled. After ten years of hard-earned success 

and steadfast dedication to educating underprivileged youth, One World Now! has expanded to 8 Seattle high schools, 2 middle 

schools, and has also partnered with schools 

in Los Angeles, New York City, and Honolulu. 

Over 2000 youth have participated in programs orchestrated by One World Now!, and 

its consistent growth makes me optimistic that 

that number will continue to grow. 

As we integrate into a more globalized 

world, it is imperative that youth from all backgrounds receive a worldly education that 

teaches the importance of tolerance and cultural understanding. Since 2002, One World 

Now! has endeavored to paint a brighter future 

for our leaders of the next generation by giving them a strong foundation in international 

relations. 

The success of One World Now! in bringing 

youths of all cultures together under the common banner of education is admirable and has 

never been more necessary. As we celebrate 

the 10th anniversary of this commendable program, I would like to convey my unwavering 

support for One World Now! and its commitment to youth, culture, and education.

DR. CLEOTHUS MONTGOMERY 

HON. GENE GREEN OF TEXAS

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Wednesday, September 19, 2012 

Mr. GENE GREEN of Texas. Mr. Speaker, 

I rise today to honor my good friend, Dr. 

Cleothus Montgomery, D. Min., for his fifty 

years of service as the pastor of the Northside 

Missionary Baptist Church in Houston, Texas. 

In September 1962, Dr. Montgomery founded the Northside Missionary Baptist Church 

and has been its leader ever since. In this 

time, he transformed the church from a gathering of a few people in his living room into a 

vehicle for community change, with more than 

450 members. He is currently working on an 

ambitious plan to build senior housing and a 

nursing home, and to cultivate small businesses, in an effort to further the church’s 

work toward improving the community. 

Montgomery grew up one of nine siblings on 

a farm in Henderson, Texas. He met and married Emma Tinch and together they reared five 

children. He is a grandfather to nine grandchildren and great-grandfather to three greatgrandchildren. 

Dr. Montgomery has a Bachelor of Science 

Degree in Engineering Science and a Bachelor of Theology. He is a graduate of Houston 

Civilian Police Academy and has earned a 

Master of Ministry, a Doctorate of Ministry, 

and two Honorary Doctorates: Honorary Doctorate of Divinity and Honorary Doctorate of 

Sacred Theology. 

In addition to leading Northside Missionary 

Baptist Church, Dr. Montgomery currently 

serves as the president of the CDC Association of Greater Houston. He has served as 

Vice President and Chairman of the Board at 

the College of Biblical Studies, Executive Director of Greater Northside Plaza, President of 

the Houston Christian Minister’s Fellowship 

Northeast Houston, Chairman of the Board of 

the World Christian Training Center, and Vice

the Mayor of Houston. 

The city of Houston is a better place because of Dr. Montgomery. On the 50th Anniversary of Northside Missionary Baptist 

Church which coincides with Dr. Montgomery’s 

80th birthday, I rise to thank and honor him for 

his tireless dedication to his parish and the 

greater community.

TRIBUTE TO THE UNITED STATES 

CAPITOL HISTORICAL SOCIETY 

HON. NORMAN D. DICKS OF WASHINGTON

IN THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES

Wednesday, September 19, 2012 

Mr. DICKS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay 

tribute to the United States Capitol Historical 

Society, which is celebrating 50 years of history and service to the United States Capitol. 

Congressman Fred Schwengel, Senator Hubert Humphrey, and a group of 15 other Members of Congress, historians, and civic and 

business leaders organized the United States 

Capitol Historical Society on July 17, 1962. 

Fifty years later, the USCHS continues to fulfill 

its mission by teaching the public about the 

founding, growth and significance of the Capitol of the United States as a tangible symbol 

of its representative form of government. 

Convinced that an understanding of history 

was inextricably linked with responsible citizenship, the founders of the United States 

Capitol Historical Society adopted a mission 

statement committing the nonprofit, nonpartisan, educational organization to the role 

of ‘‘history teacher to the nation.’’ 

More than 50 years after its founding, the 

Society continues to develop new and creative 

ways to bring the fascinating story of the Capitol to the public’s attention. Among its tools 

are educational tours, scholarly symposia, observances of historic events, enhancement 

and preservation of the Capitol’s collection of 

art and artifacts, sponsorship of research, the 

sale of publications and mementos of an historical nature, and assistance to Congressional and other Capitol offices. 

The partnership of the USCHS with the National Archives and Old Town Trolley in the 

We the People Constitution program is particularly innovative. The Society has committed to working toward seeing every eighth 

grade student in the Washington, DC public 

schools tour ‘‘monumental’’ Washington to 

learn about the U.S. Constitution. This educational tour’s sole purpose is to help students 

understand their place in American history and 

their role in the process of government. 

Mr. Speaker, I ask my colleagues to join me 

in honoring a great organization dedicated to 

preserving the history of the most recognizable symbol of representative government in 

the world, the United States Capitol.
