                            HON. BOB FRANKS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, March 10, 1995
  Mr. FRANKS of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commend Mrs. 
Margaret A. Maccini on her 21 years of dedicated service to Somerset 
County, NJ. On December 31 of last year, Mrs. Maccini retired as the 
clerk of the Board of Chosen Freeholders for Somerset County.
  Mrs. Maccini began her career in 1973 as the administrative assistant 
to the county administrator. She soon became the executive secretary to 
the Board of Freeholders, and in 2 years became deputy clerk of the 
board. In 1976 she was appointed clerk of the Board of Chosen 
Freeholders, where she had remained until her retirement. In 1982, she 
earned her clerk's certificate through the International Institute of 
Municipal Clerks, and has offered her talents to Rutgers University as 
an assistant instructor in the Bureau of Government Services.
  During her career as clerk of the board, Margaret served as liaison 
between the Freeholders and the public, the media, county officials, 
and staff members. In her 21 years of service, she has worked with 18 
different Freeholders' offices.
  In addition to her service to Somerset County, Margaret has had an 
avid interest in historical preservation. She is a member of the 
Somerset County Cultural and Heritage Commission, and president of the 
Meadows Foundation in Franklin Township.
  The people of Somerset County owe Margaret a debt of gratitude for 
her dedicated service. As a Member of Congress for Somerset County, I 
congratulate Margaret on her retirement, and thank her for her hard 
work to improve Somerset County. Her dedication to public service is a 
fine example for young people everywhere.
