                                 ______


                            HON. HERB KLEIN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 8, 1994

  Mr. KLEIN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to James H. 
Allen, Sr., for his dedication and service to the greater Paterson 
community. Mr. Allen, a longtime resident of the area, deserves 
congratulations for his outstanding contributions and commitment to his 
college, his professional affiliations, and the National Association 
for Advancement of Colored People.
  Mr. Allen is a proud graduate of Johnson C. Smith University, in 
Charlotte, NC, and he presently holds the office of vice president for 
the New Jersey Alumni Association. With a master's degree of business 
administration from Rutgers, the State University of New Jersey, Mr. 
Allen works as a field auditor for the New Jersey Department of 
Treasury, Division of Taxation.
  Extending his involvement to the professional and community arenas, 
Mr. Allen holds active membership in the New Jersey Black MBA 
Association, and is a former vice president of operations. Currently, 
he serves as a board member for the Young Men of Paterson, the YMCA, 
and the Roberta Sides Scholarship Fund.
  Mr. Allen's dedication is exemplified by his continuing service to 
the NAACP. He is the immediate past state adviser for the youth and 
college division of the state conference for the organization. His 
efforts in that position have produced several notable achievements, 
including the naming of New Jersey as the No. 1 State in the region for 
youth programmatic thrust. As a former adviser for the Paterson NAACP 
Youth Council, Mr. Allen introduced the co-adviser concept at the 
organization's regional and national levels. Mr. Allen also developed 
the Paterson Black Colleges Tour Program and continues to coordinate 
annual tours.
  I applaud James H. Allen, Sr. for his hard work and commitment to the 
community. His selfless contributions are greatly appreciated and I 
wish him and his family the best for the future.
