  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 
accomplishments of Dr. Robert Angelo and his contributions to the 
community. Over the course of the last twenty-five years, Dr. Angelo 
has worked as a consultant, teacher, advisor, and advocate.
  Dr. Angelo served for eight years as the International Director of 
the AFSCME International Union, the largest public employee 
organization in the AFL-CIO. As director, he worked throughout the 
United States organizing campaigns, negotiations, and public events. 
Dr. Angelo continues to work as a labor arbitrator for the New Jersey 
State Board of Mediation, and is called upon by private and public 
sector management to adjudicate disputes arising from collective 
bargaining agreements.
  An educator with a long and commendable career, Dr. Angelo received 
his B.A. in Economics from Colgate University, an MBA from Drexel 
University, and has been recently conferred with a doctorate from 
Rutgers University in Education. He began his career as a college 
administrator at Middlesex County College in central New Jersey where 
he was responsible for directing the nationally recognized Occupational 
Safety and Health training project. At Thomas Edison State College, Dr. 
Angelo served as a mentor and consultant in the Labor Studies and 
Organizational Behavior departments. He later was a lecturer and 
extension faculty member in the School of Management and Labor 
Relations at Rutgers University, where he taught graduate and 
undergraduate-level classes.
  In 1993, Dr. Angelo founded Capitol Ideas, a multi-service consulting 
organization dedicated to organizational advocacy and promotion. 
Capitol Ideas works with a variety of private, public, and non-profit 
groups to design and implement political, educational, and promotional 
programs.
  Dr. Angelo lives with his wife, Meryle, in East Brunswick, New 
Jersey. He currently represents SEIU State Council, SEIU Local 510, and 
IFPTE 195, and continues to work as the CEO of Capitol Ideas and a 
Professor of Labor Studies at Rutgers University.
  Dr. Robert Angelo has demonstrated dedication to his goals and to the 
community. I ask my colleagues to join me in recognizing Dr. Angelo's 
accomplishments.
