                       TRIBUTE TO FLOYD R. SCOTT

                                 ______


                        HON. FRANK PALLONE, JR.

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, January 17, 1995
  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, on Friday, January 6, 1995, Mr. Floyd R. 
Scott, Jr., of Tinton Falls, NJ, died at the age of 67. I rise today to 
join with the many friends, colleagues and fellow-community activists 
who knew Mr. Scott to pay tribute to this fine man.
  A registered architect in the States of New Jersey and New York, Mr. 
Scott was past president of the New Jersey State Board of Architects 
and a past State chairman of the Committee on Preservation of Historic 
Buildings in New Jersey. To date, he is the first and only African-
American appointee to the New Jersey State Board of Architects.
  Mr. Speaker, the list of Floyd Scott's accomplishments is a long and 
impressive one. Born in Asbury Park, NJ, he attended local schools 
while growing up in Monmouth County. Mr. Scott was an Air Force World 
War II veteran, serving as a member of the Tuskegee Airmen, the famous 
332nd fighter group, the first all-black pilot group. He earned his 
bachelor's degree in architecture at Howard University. He is listed in 
both the Who's Who in the East and the American Encyclopedia. Mr. Scott 
was a former president of the Neptune Township Board of Education, a 
member of the Rider College Board of Trustees, and a member of the 
Brookdale Community College Trustee Selection Committee. He was a past 
president of the Monmouth Boys Club, the Monmouth Council of Boy 
Scouts, the Monmouth County Men's Club and the Second Baptist Church of 
Asbury Park. He is a recipient of the NAACP's Distinguished Service 
Award.
  Mr. Scott is survived by his wife, Ruby Scott, a son, Rudolph, his 
brother, Ed Royal Scott, and three grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, Mr. Scott has served his community, his State and his 
country in an exemplary manner. In extending my deepest sympathy to his 
beloved wife, the rest of his family and his many friends, I hope we 
can all gain strength and inspiration from the fine example he set for 
hard work and distinguished achievement in his profession, love and 
devotion to his family, and dedication to making his community a better 
place.
