                       Wednesday, April 30, 1997

  Mr. PASCRELL. Mr. Speaker, I would like to bring to your attention, 
David Maniaci of Allendale, NJ, who is being honored by the Italian-
American Police Officer's Association of New Jersey.
  David was born on May 24, 1963, at Saint Joseph's Hospital in 
Paterson to Anna and the late Nicholas Maniaci and was raised in North 
Haledon. He is a graduate of Neumann Preparatory High School and Saint 
Joseph's University in Philadelphia. David majored in food marketing 
and earned a bachelor of science degree in 1985.
  While a young high school student working part time at the local 
Foodtown, David met his wife, Nancy, who was also a student and part-
time worker. They have been married for more than 8 years and have two 
children: Alexa, age 7 and Nicholas, age 5.
  David is president and CEO of Nicholas Markets, Inc., a family-owned 
business that was started in North Haledon by his father, Nicholas, in 
1943. Nicholas Markets owns and operates 10 Super Foodtowns and 2 Grand 
Opening Liquor Stores in Passaic, Essex, Sussex, Middlesex, and Union 
Counties.
  David is a member of the Foodtown Board of Directors, and the New 
Jersey Food Council Board of Directors. He also is a member of the 
Passaic County Police Chief Association and the Passaic County 200 
Club.
  David also serves many civic organizations as well, including the Boy 
Scouts of America, where he is a member of the board of directors, the 
Fidelians of America, and the Hawthorne Lions Club, where he serves as 
treasurer. He also helped establish the Nicholas Maniaci Scholarship 
Fund for St. Paul's Roman Catholic School in Prospect Park and has 
worked on various projects which assist handicapped members of the 
community.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me, our colleagues, David's family 
and friends, the Italian-American Police Officer's Association, and the 
citizens of North Jersey in recognizing the outstanding and invaluable 
service to the community of David Maniaci.
