              TRIBUTE TO MARGE LORDI AND ISABEL WITTLINGER

                                 ______


                            HON. HERB KLEIN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Tuesday, April 12, 1994

  Mr. KLEIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay special tribute to Marge 
Lordi, president of the Friends of the Bellevill Public Library and 
Information Center, and Isabel Wittlinger, the former president. These 
women will be awarded the Distinguished Service Award during National 
Library Week on Thursday, April 21, 1994, by the Belleville Public 
Library.
  The Distinguished Service Award is given yearly to people who have 
made the greatest contributions to the library. It is awarded at an 
appropriate time, National Library Week, which occurs from April 17 to 
23. This year's theme is ``Libraries Change Lives.''
  As president of the Friends of the Belleville Public Library, Ms. 
Lordi has exhibited excellent leadership skills, and developed strong 
public support for the library. She has also helped sponsor many 
library cultural programs, as well as organize fundraising programs for 
the library.
  Ms. Isabel Wittlinger, as past president of the Friends of the 
Belleville Public Library and Information Center, has not only 
sponsored many cultural programs, but has also taught classes and 
provided many exhibits to the library herself.
  The Belleville Public Library has benefited from their time and 
service. It is with great pleasure that I join with my colleagues in 
wishing them continued success.
