   TRIBUTE TO ASSEMBLYMAN HARRY A. McENROE AND COUNTY CLERK PATRICIA 
                             McGARRY DRAKE

 Mr. LAUTENBERG. Mr. President, I rise today to commend the 
achievements of two outstanding New Jerseyans, Assemblyman Harry A. 
McEnroe of South Orange, and Essex County Clerk Patricia McGarry Drake 
of Newark.
  As life-long residents of New Jersey, both Mr. McEnroe and Ms. Drake 
have demonstrated an outstanding commitment to serving the citizens of 
Essex County. They have each been honored in numerous ways by the 
county in which they serve, as well as various organizations in New 
Jersey.
  Before his career as a New Jersey State assemblyman, Harry McEnroe 
served on the board of freeholders and as freeholder director of Essex 
County. In addition, he has an exemplary list of accomplishments in 
community service, including substantial contributions in developing 
New Jersey's solid waste recycling program. In the past, he has 
received the Irishman of the Year Award from the Friends of Brian Boru. 
Most recently, in his official capacity, McEnroe was awarded Legislator 
of the Year by the New Jersey Association of Counties.
  Ms. McGarry Drake has also served the citizens of New Jersey with 
distinction. While working her way from clerk typist to county clerk, 
she developed a keen understanding of the services provided by the 
clerk's office and earned both the respect of her colleagues and the 
citizens she served. Most recently, McGarry Drake began her term as 
first vice president for the County Officers Association. Her list of 
honors includes the standard bearer of the P. McGarry Drake Civic 
Association, and the Irishwoman of the Year Award from the Friends of 
Brian Boru.
  I pay tribute to both of these upstanding individuals and the many 
contributions they have made on behalf of the citizens of New 
Jersey.
