         CONGRATULATIONS ALBERTA E. DANIELS ON YOUR RETIREMENT

                                 ______


                          HON. DONALD M. PAYNE

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 22, 1994

  Mr. PAYNE of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to the 
attention of my colleagues the retirement of Alberta E. Daniels of East 
Orange, NJ.
  Ms. Daniels will soon retire as a senior correctional officer with 
the State of New Jersey's Department of Corrections. She also has been 
an Essex County Sheriff's officer. Prior to her employment with the 
Essex County Sheriff, she was an electronics operator with Radio 
Corporation of America [RCA].
  Ms. Daniels has been long active in civic and political affairs. She 
is the former chairperson of the East Orange Democratic County 
Committee, where she has the distinction of being the only woman to 
serve in that position. She has been affiliated with the PBA Local 105, 
the Child Placement Review Board, and the East Orange Board of Fire 
Commissioners.
  Ms. Daniel's life has been filled with firsts. As previously 
mentioned, she was the first woman to serve as chair of the East Orange 
Democratic County Committee. She was one of the first women to ever 
serve on the East Orange Board of Fire Commissioners. She was also one 
of the first officers to work in a coed halfway house in New Jersey. 
Ms. Daniels is an example of a first-rate citizen and community 
activist.
  Mr. Speaker, I am sure my colleagues will want to join me as I 
congratulate her on her retirement and offer my best wishes for the 
future.
