     IN HONOR OF THE MARY T. NORTON CONGRESSIONAL AWARD RECIPIENTS

                                 ______


                          HON. ROBERT MENENDEZ

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 20, 1994

  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today before the House of 
Representatives to pay tribute to Patricia T. Carbine, Joan M. Quigley, 
and Josephine Wozniak, this year's recipients of the Mary T. Norton 
Congressional Award. This prestigious award, sponsored by the United 
Way Partners in Caring, will be awarded at their 59th annual campaign 
kick-off luncheon on September 28, 1994.
  The United Way of Hudson County which was founded in 1935, works to 
meet human service needs with the help of a staff of professional 
volunteers, including approximately 1,100 corporate, labor, government, 
and civic leaders.
  The United Way initiated this award in 1990 in recognition of 
Congresswoman Norton's commitment to human services. This award 
recognizes women who have made an outstanding effort in furthering the 
success of the United Way programs in our community and nationwide. The 
award, a golden bronze eagle, symbolizes the spirit of United Way which 
exemplifies the idea of ``People helping People.''
  Patricia T. Carbine, a native of Villanova, PA and current resident 
of New York City is the cofounder of Ms. magazine and has served as its 
publisher and editor in chief for 16 years. Ms. Carbine is a director 
of the New York Life Insurance Co. as well as a member of the advisory 
board of the Lubin Schools of Business, Pace University, the Girls Club 
of America, and a director of the United Ways of Tri-State. Ms. Carbine 
is the first woman to chair the Advertising Council and also serves as 
a director of Advertising Women of New York.
  Joan M. Quigley holds a master's degree in public administration from 
Rutgers University and graduated summa cum laude with degrees in urban 
studies and sociology from St. Peter's College. She has been actively 
involved in the efforts of the Red Cross, the Boys and Girls Club and 
the United Way of Hudson County. Ms. Quigley is the host of several 
Jersey City Cable TV programs such as, ``Report From Trenton'' and 
``Jersey City's Ten Most Wanted.'' Recently, Ms. Quigley has been 
elected to the New Jersey General Assembly representing the 32d 
legislative district.
  Josephine Wozniak has been described as a ``community activist, 
leader, fundraiser, and volunteer extraordinaire.'' Ms. Wozniak served 
the American Red Cross from 1974-87 and received the Red Cross 
Volunteer Award in 1978. In 1989 Ms. Wozniak received the United Way 
Merit Award. Ms. Wozniak has demonstrated her concern for her fellow 
citizens through her activities. She is a den mother for the Bayonne 
Boy Scouts, she is a religious instructor, and works for the hotel 
industry.
  These three individuals, the United Way and all of the volunteers of 
America should be commended for their relentless self-giving and 
dedication to serving the needs of their fellow Americans. I salute 
them today and wish them luck in their future endeavors.
