                     TRIBUTE TO DOROTHY E. JOHNSON

                                 ______


                        HON. WILLIAM J. MARTINI

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Friday, January 5, 1996

  Mr. MARTINI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a woman from 
the 8th Congressional District of New Jersey who has devoted her life 
and career to the Township of Bloomfield. Her name is Dorothy E. 
Johnson.
  This month, Dorothy will be honored by her friends and coworkers on 
the occasion of her retirement from the Bloomfield Public Library after 
25 years of service. Dorothy's presence at the library will be sorely 
missed. While others may be able to perform her job, it is unlikely 
that her spirit and dedication could be surpassed.
  In addition to her duties as the library director, she is an active 
member of the Bloomfield community where she has lived most of her 
life. She has served as president of the Bloomfield Safety Council, 
Matron of Eastern Star Chapter #76, and represented her profession as a 
delegate to many conferences and conventions.
  Mr. Speaker, I know that you will join me in wishing Dorothy Johnson 
a happy and healthy retirement and the best of luck in all her future 
endeavors.
