                      TRIBUTE TO ADELE GUTTENBERG

  Mr. LAUTENBERG. Mr. President, I rise today to pay tribute to the 
accomplishments of an outstanding constituent of mine, Mrs. Adele 
Guttenberg.
  Mrs. Guttenberg has been more than just an ordinary advocate for the 
disabled in New Jersey. She worked tirelessly to gain support long 
before the onset of State efforts.
  The mother of two severely handicapped children, Mrs. Guttenberg 
lobbied the Bergen County Board of Freeholders to ensure that all 
students, regardless of their age, receive the educational 
opportunities that they deserve. She has helped implement this in a 
number of ways, most notably by providing, with her husband, a 4-year 
scholarship to the New Jersey Institute of Technology for a disabled 
resident, and by her donations dedicated to removing architectural 
boundaries at the college.
  As the cofounder of the Spectrum for Living, she expanded the 
opportunities for housing, day care, work shops, and quality of life. 
Recently, despite her officially nonprofessional status, Mrs. 
Guttenberg was chosen Woman of the Year by the Bergen County Business 
and Professional Women.
  Mrs. Guttenberg is an exceptional example of an individual who has 
committed herself to improving the lives of those members of our 
society who face special challenges. I applaud her dedication, her 
generosity, and her spirit. She is an inspiration to us all.
