  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize Amy Mansue, who is being 
honored by Planned Parenthood of Central New Jersey on Tuesday, May 23, 
2000.
  Ms. Mansue will receive Planned Parenthood's Fred Forrest Community

Planned Parenthood in the context of a fundamental commitment to 
improving their community in many ways.

Management and Policy on health, human services and women's issues. 
Also, she served as the Deputy Commissioner of the Department of Human 
Services, where she oversaw the Divisions of Youth and Family Services, 
Developmental Disabilities, Mental Health and Hospitals, Medical 
Assistance and Health Services, and the Office of Education.
  Currently, Ms. Mansue is the Senior Vice President of Corporate 
Business Development of HIP Plans. Prior to this she served as 
President and CEO of HIP Plan of New Jersey, a not-for-profit health 
plan.
  Amy Mansue's commitment to her community is evident by the multitude 
of boards she has served on, including St. David's Vestry, the 
University of Alabama School of Social Work Advisory Committee, PAM's 
List, New Jersey Center for Public Analysis, and the New Jersey 
Community Development Corporation.
  Ms. Mansue's peers have recognized her efforts through the years. She 
has been honored for her achievements by the New Jersey National 
Association of Social Workers as Social Worker of the Year, Modern 
Health Care's 1998 Up and Coming Healthcare Executive, the United 
Cerebral Palsy Association's Boggs Award and the New Jersey State 
Nurses Association's President's Award.
  Mr. Speaker, the dedication of Amy Mansue serves as an excellent 
example to the citizens of New Jersey. I ask my colleagues to join me 
in recognizing Amy Mansue.
