                     TRIBUTE TO BOSWELL ENGINEERING

                                 ______


                       HON. ROBERT G. TORRICELLI

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 22, 1994

  Mr. TORRICELLI. Mr. Speaker, it is with great respect and admiration 
that I address my colleagues in the House today, for I rise to extend 
my heartiest congratulations and warmest best wishes to Boswell 
Engineering of South Hackensack, NJ, as it celebrates its 70th 
anniversary in the engineering business.
  In 1924, the late David C. Boswell recognized the need for 
engineering expertise in a world that was expanding and developing at a 
lightning-fast pace. It was then, in Ridgefield Park, NJ, that he 
founded Boswell Engineering, a family-operated company. His leadership 
provided the solid foundation upon which the company was built.
  The tradition continued as both sons--the late Howard L. Boswell, Sr. 
and David J. Boswell--joined the firm, each making his unique 
contribution toward establishing Boswell as a full-service engineering 
company. During the early 1980's, upon his father's death, the late 
Howard Boswell, Jr., representing company management, embarked upon a 
new and exciting period in the history and growth of Boswell 
Engineering. Today, Howard Boswell, Jr.'s four brothers, Stephen, 
Bruce, Kevin, and John, provide leadership for continuation and 
expansion of the superb quality of service and high standards of 
excellence Boswell is known for in the engineering community.
  Through the company's fine history of engineering accomplishments--
from a two-man field office, concentrating on surveying and civil 
engineering to a full-fledged, comprehensive engineering firm designing 
interstate highways, toll roads and bridges, and extensive wastewater 
treatment, sanitary and storm sewerage projects--Boswell has laid the 
groundwork to play a major role in the structuring of the future for 
State, county, and local governmental agencies.
  Boswell Engineering, now in its seventh decade, has demonstrated a 
commitment to maintain a reputation for excellence and high standards 
on all projects, whether large or small, and takes pride in helping to 
enhance the quality of life for the cities, towns, and counties by 
providing superb engineering services to all levels of government.
  Boswell Engineering, a progressive, full-service firm living up to 
the grand design envisioned by its founder back in 1924, is now one of 
the largest and most diverse New Jersey-based engineering firms. The 
company, one of ENR's top 500 engineering firms, presently employs over 
200 civil, structural, and environmental engineers, planners, 
scientists, surveyors, technicians, draftsmen, construction managers, 
and support personnel.
  Mr. Speaker. I am proud to join in paying tribute to Boswell 
Engineering as it celebrates its 70th anniversary. I extend my best 
wishes to the ownership and staff at Boswell Engineering on the 
occasion of their anniversary.
