  Mr. PASCRELL. Mr. Speaker, I would like to introduce you to Mr. Jack

the quality of life for the people of the Eighth Congressional District 
of New Jersey.
  Deeply concerned with the well-being of our senior citizens, Mr.

for a number of years. Most recently, he served two terms as President 
of the Board of Trustees of that organization. Prior to that he was the 
Vice-President and a member of the finance committee for six years.
  Jack is also an active member of the community at large. He is a 
former trustee of the Barnert Hospital and serves as a trustee at the 
Barnert Temple. Jack has also served as the Commissioner and President 
of the Board of the Children's Shelter of Passaic County and as a 
President of the Northeast Regional Association of Small Business 
Investment Corporation. He is also a former member of the Executive 
Council and the Board of Governors of the National Association of Small 
Businesses Investment Corporation.
  Currently, Jack is a corporate banker. He is the Chairman of the 
Waldorf Group, Incorporated, of Little Falls and the Tappan Zee Capital 
Corporation. In addition, Jack is the Chairman of the Board of Olo 
Deerfield Fabrics, Inc. of Cedar Grove.
  Although active in the community and the corporate world, Jack is 
also a dedicated family man. A resident of Wyckoff, Jack is married to 
the former Louise Rothstein. They are the proud parents of four sons, 
Michael, Steven, Jeffrey, and John. They have two grandchildren.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask that you join me, our colleagues, Jack Birnberg's 
family and friends, and the grateful residents of New Jersey as we 
commend Jack for his years of service to the community.
