                        TRIBUTE TO MARTIN BARBER

                                 ______


                            HON. BOB FRANKS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, May 25, 1994

  Mr. FRANKS of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and pay 
tribute to Mr. Martin Barber of Livingston, NJ. A longtime friend, 
Marty has most recently earned distinction as the chair of the Stamp 
Out Hate Coalition, an organization dedicated to promoting tolerance 
and understanding in my home State of New Jersey.
  Marty has a lengthy and dedicated history of public service, 
balancing responsibilities to his family and profession with the 
demanding obligations of helping to lead his community. As vice 
president of the Metropolitan Chapter of the American Jewish Committee, 
as a member of the executive committee of the Jewish Federation of 
MetroWest, and as past president of Temple Beth Shalom in Livingston, 
Marty has consistently battled the bigotry and hate seemingly on the 
rise in our society. I commend Marty's resolute and steadfast 
opposition to these forces of discord, and his advancement of policies 
and practices that benefit all peoples.
  Mr. Speaker, Marty Barber's courage and perseverance are a tremendous 
example of public service for us all. I am, therefore, pleased to 
announce that Marty will be honored at the American Jewish Committee 
Annual Dinner Meeting on June 1, 1994, and I commend him and his many 
outstanding accomplishments.
