  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to an honored 
citizen, Mr. Frank Carine, who has served the community of Bayonne and 
Hudson County for many years. The Sicilian Citizens Club will honor Mr. 
Carine on October 25, 1997, at the organization's 70th Anniversary 
Dinner-Dance at Villa Nova in Bayonne, NJ.
  Mr. Frank Carine was born in Bayonne where he has lived all his life. 
He graduated from local schools and attended Mount Saint Mary's College 
in Emmitsburg, MD, Seton Hall University and St. Peter's College. He 
also received certification from the University of Wisconsin School of 
Industrial and Labor Relations. Mr. Carine is a life long parishioner 
of Our Lady of Assumption Church. He is an Army veteran of the Korean 
era and resides in Bayonne with his wife, Margaret. He is the son of 
Lillian and the late Nicholas Carine, and has three children, Frank 
Jr., Beth Ann Taraba, and Jill Ripp and five grandchildren.
  Mr. Carine's professional career included service at the Western 
Electric in Kearny, where he is an honorary member of Local 1470 IBEW 
AFL-CIO. He has extensive experience in organized labor, negotiations, 
and contracts. He is an active member of many local clubs and 
organizations. Mr. Carine is present leader and past president of the 
Sicilian Citizens Club of Bayonne, president of the Sons of Italy Del 
Monte Lodge, a member of the Catholic War Veterans Post 1612, Korean 
War Veterans, Telephone Pioneers of America, and the Bayonne Columbus 
Committee. He is currently employed as a special deputy in the office 
of the Hudson County Register.
  It is an honor and a pleasure to be able to recognize the dedicated 
service of Mr. Frank Carine to his community. Once again, I offer my 
congratulations to Mr. Carine for being named Sicilian Citizens Club of 
Bayonne's ``Honoree of the Year'' and for offering his time and 
kindness to those in the community. I am certain that my colleagues 
will join me in paying tribute to this remarkable gentleman.
