                       TRIBUTE TO EDWARD A. KELLY

                                 ______


                            HON. JIM SAXTON

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, February 9, 1994

  Mr. SAXTON. Mr. Speaker, it is a great privilege for me to 
congratulate a constituent of mine, Edward A. Kelly, as he retires from 
25 years of public service to Burlington County, NJ, and a lifetime of 
public service to the State of New Jersey.
  Ed has served as the county clerk of Burlington County for five 
consecutive 5-year terms. In the county elections in which Ed 
campaigned, he consistently received more votes than anybody else 
running for county office.
  Ed has been very active with the Boy Scouts of America in Burlington 
County. He is a member of the board of directors for the Burlington 
County Chapter of the Boy Scouts of America. Also in 1993, Ed was the 
recipient of the Boy Scouts Outstanding Achiever Award.
  I really got to know Ed through his work with the Burlington County 
Military Affairs Committee. Ed is constantly working with the young 
service men and women stationed at Fort Dix and McGuire Air Force Base 
to make them feel at home.
  Ed was especially helpful as our community fought and won the fight 
to keep McGuire Air Force Base open. For his help in this mammoth 
effort, I will always be grateful.
  Recently, when I asked for some biographical information on Ed, I 
received a solid page listing all of the public service organizations 
with which Ed has been or is associated. Truly Edward A. Kelly is an 
outstanding example of public service to us all.
  Thank you Ed for your service, and God bless you and your wife. And 
may you continue as a valued and active member of our community for 
many years to come.
