  Mr. PASCRELL. Mr. Speaker, I would like to call to your attention the 
momentous occasion of the 125th anniversary of New Jersey's North 
Jersey Herald and News.
  The Herald and News had its beginning in 1872. Debuting as a weekly 
newspaper, the Herald and News has a storied and remarkable history 
which has impacted the people of northern New Jersey. For more than 125 
years, the Herald and News has stood as a symbol of the character of 
its loyal readers. The commitment and dedication shown by its founders 
and its ability to adapt to a changing world have made the newspaper an 
important part of Passaic County's history.
  The Herald and News has always maintained a respected, balanced, and 
detailed coverage of the people and events which have been brought to 
life on the pages each day. The Herald and News is more than just a 
newspaper--it is an institution in the everyday life of northern New 
Jersey. It has a heritage unique in the annals of American journalism 
and American history. The men and women who make the newspaper today 
are proud of its glorious traditions and continue to build on this 
impressive legacy.
  Mr. Speaker, I would like for you to join me, our colleagues, the men 
and women of the Herald and News, and the people of northern New Jersey 
in recognizing the North Jersey Herald and News' 125th anniversary. As 
we celebrate the 125 years of its service to the community, it is only 
proper that we extend our heartfelt congratulations on a remarkable 
tradition and best wishes for continued success and prosperity well 
into the new century.
