  Mr. MENENDEZ. Mr. Speaker, I would like to congratulate John J. 
Hurley, Jr., for being selected as the Grand Marshal of the 1998 
Bayonne St. Patrick's Day Parade.
  John Hurley was honored as Grand Marshal on March 1st at the Hi-Hat 
Caterers in Bayonne. Leo Hurley, Fran Dugan, James Gillespie and 
Kathleen Munn are also being recognized at the brunch as the Marshal's 
aides during the parade.
  Mr. Hurley has always given back to his community and honored his 
Irish cultural ties. He is a charter member of the St. Peter's College 
Knights of Columbus Council, a former Trustee of the Middletown 
Townhouse Association, a past vice-president of Ireland 32, a member of 
the County Corkmen's Association of Bayonne, and a Life Member of the 
Bayonne St. Patrick's Day Parade Committee.
  Mr. Hurley's Irish heritage can be traced back to County Cork on his 
father's side and County Longford on his mother's. He is married to 
Lorraine Decio of Jersey City and has two children, Megan Marie Hurley 
and John Brian Hurley.
