                  NICHOLAS SACCAMANO: COMMUNITY LEADER

                                 ______


                      HON. RODNEY P. FRELINGHUYSEN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, December 6, 1995

  Mr. FRELINGHUYSEN. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to Mr. 
Nicholas Saccamano, of the 11th Congressional District, who has given 
of himself for the betterment of the people of New Jersey for more than 
40 years. This Friday evening, Nick will be honored by his many friends 
and colleagues upon his retirement from AT&T Bell Laboratories after 42 
years of service. During that time, Nick has become a leader in 
business, and so many community activities.
  Nick has always been involved in Morris County, where he and his wife 
Betty make their home. He is a champion of the finest charitable causes 
in our communities. Nick is known to be loyal, persistent and a leader 
who get things accomplished.
  Perhaps the best illustration of Nick's personal commitment to those 
in need was when a seriously ill young man was in need of a bone marrow 
transplant. It was Nick who, together with the young man's friends and 
family, took action and personally mobilized the support and resources 
necessary to help save the young man's life. And so it is not 
surprising that Nick's good works have gained him the respect, 
admiration and deep friendship of the residents of Morris County and 
all of New Jersey. My wonderful predecessor, Congressman Dean Gallo, 
considered Nick one of our best and so do I.
  I would be hard pressed to list all of Nick Saccamano's 
accomplishments and special citations here today. However, I would like 
to mention a few to give you an idea of how widely involved Nick is in 
our lives. Nick has been named the Man of the Year by the Dope Open 
Inc. and the Morris County Police Chief's Association and was named 
Citizen of the Year by the Holmdel Policeman's Benevolent Association. 
He serves on the executive board of the Morris County United Way, as 
well as receiving their John J. O'Connor Award. Nick is also involved 
in employer ridersharing programs in Morris, Monmouth, and Ocean 
counties; the Two Hundred Club in Morris, Monmouth, Ocean, and Union 
counties and is a member of the New Jersey State Chamber of Commerce.
  Mr. Speaker, I sincerely doubt that Nick Saccamano will be slowing 
down any time soon. On the contrary, retiring from Bell Laboratories 
should give him even more time to do what he does so well: being people 
together to help others.
  So today, Mr. Speaker, I join with all my New Jersey Colleagues and 
this House in congratulating Nick Saccamano for his many years of 
service to all residents of our area.
