                          HON. DONALD M. PAYNE

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, March 7, 1996

  Mr. PAYNE of New Jersey. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to the 
attention of my colleagues one of the tireless soldiers in the army of 
justice and equality--Daniel Williams.
  Danny, as he is affectionately known, was honored by the Giblin 
Association on Sunday, February 18, 1996. Tribute was paid to him for 
his dedication to a number of communities--labor, civic, and social. 
Over the years, Danny has taken his place amongst a variety of 
individuals to ensure that everyone has equal opportunity to live, 
learn, and succeed.
  Most of his work has been done in conjunction with the labor 
movement. A strong labor activist, Danny has used his experience and 
opportunities to draw attention to matters that affect the very fiber 
of our community. He is active with the International Union of 
Operating Engineers Local 68-68A-68B. He serves this organization as 
director of community relations. He uses this position to interact with 
the national organizations of the NAACP, the Urban League, the A. 
Philip Randolph Institute, as well as other civil rights organizations.
  Danny is also active in his local community. He is a member of the 
Executive Board of the Vailsburg Block Association and the Reynolds 
Place Block Association. He is a district leader representing the 36th 
district of Newark's west ward for the Essex County Democratic 
Committee. Always willing to serve, he is the sergeant-at-arms for the 
executive board of the Essex County Democratic Committee.
  I am proud to have this dedicated citizen in my district. I offer my 
congratulations and best wishes to Danny and his wife, Bernice.
