 U.J. BRUALDI, JR. AND ADT SECURITY SYSTEMS RECEIVE CARL M. LOEB, JR. 
                                 AWARD

                                 ______


                            HON. JIM SAXTON

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Wednesday, October 5, 1994

  Mr. SAXTON. Mr. Speaker, on September 30 of this year, a truly 
outstanding businessperson, U.J. Brualdi, Jr. and the corporation which 
he leads, ADT Security System, Inc., were presented with the Carl M. 
Loeb, Jr. Award. This award was presented by the National Crime 
Prevention Council [NCPC] at its annual board meeting in New York City. 
It is fitting that in this, the company's 120th anniversary year, ADT 
be honored.
  Mr. Brualdi, president and chief executive officer of ADT Security 
Systems, has long been a champion of corporate community involvement 
and has consistently stressed its importance to ADT Associates 
nationwide. While serving as the leader of this major international 
corporation, Mr. Brualdi has been a dynamic pacesetter in business and 
in spurring ADT to a remarkable record of corporate citizenship.
  In 1986, ADT was an active partner in the funding, development, and 
distribution of more than 20,000 corporate action kits. This vital 
resource has provided tools for businesses large and small across the 
country which help make workplaces and employees safer both on the job 
and in the community.
  A second major ADT initiative was the creation of the National 
Spotlight Awards luncheon series. Mr. Brualdi launched this program in 
1987, which highlighted local citizen's extraordinary efforts in crime 
prevention at the grassroots. Initiated in Kansas City, the program was 
honored with great local acclaim, and as of this month, luncheons have 
been hosted by the majors of 15 of America's largest cities. This 
ongoing spotlight series culminated in a White House ceremony.
  ADT's most recent community effort is the creation of the nationally 
recognized AWARE [Abused Women's Active Response Emergency] program. 
The program places security systems and emergency pendants in the homes 
of battered and abused women. Started in 1992, this unique program 
features the cooperation of both public and private sectors of the 
community. AWARE has expended to more than 25 cities, and it is now 
credited with helping to save the lives of 14 women.
  In 1990 Mr. Brualdi was elected to the NCPC board of directors in 
recognition of his longtime commitment, and that of ADT, to the 
prevention of crime, NCPC is a nonprofit educational organization best 
know for the McGruff the crime dog public education campaign and 
informative materials for community action.
  ADT Security Systems is a leading provider of electronic security 
services and vehicle auction services with operations in North America, 
the United Kingdom, and continental Europe. ADT is the largest single 
provider of electronic products and services worldwide. ADT helps 
safeguard nearly 1 million customers, including more than a half 
million homeowners, as well as 493 of the Fortune 500 companies.
  Mr. Brualdi and ADT are the fourth recipients of the Carl M Loeb, Jr. 
Award. ADT is the first corporation so honored with the Loeb Award.
  Mr. Speaker, I am honored to recognize the efforts of Mr. Brualdi and 
ADT Security Systems, Inc.
