                        TRIBUTE TO FRED HOLSTEN

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. MICHAEL PAPPAS

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 22, 1997

  Mr. PAPPAS. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Fred Holsten 
of South Brunswick, NJ. He was honored Monday, August 4, for his 20 
years of volunteer service to Middlesex County Fair by the trustees of 
the annual fair.
  Since retiring as chief of police in South Brunswick in 1974, Mr. 
Holsten has served many organizations such as the Lion's Club and the 
International Association of Chiefs of Police. In his over 20 years of 
service to the Middlesex County Fair, Mr. Holsten has come to be 
affectionately known as Uncle Fred. Since Mr. Holsten has joined the 
fair, it has grown to offer a great family atmosphere for all those in 
Middlesex County. As a result, worthy causes that receive funds from 
the fair have benefited greatly.
  Mr. Speaker, Mr. Holsten has set a great example. After an extensive 
time of service as police chief, he continues as a volunteer. This 
selfless service to his community is a great example of the indelible 
American spirit that only makes our country stronger.
  I, too, commend Mr. Fred Holsten for the unselfish, heartwarming 
dedication he has shown.
