                           HON. RUSH D. HOLT

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                          Friday, May 19, 2000

  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, today I recognize Susan Wilson of Princeton, 
who is being honored by Planned Parenthood of Central New Jersey on 
Tuesday, May 23, 2000.
  Ms. Wilson will receive Planned Parenthood's Vivian Aaron Leadership 
Award. This award, created by the children of Vivian Aaron, recognizes 
individuals who have demonstrated leadership within their community in 
the areas of education and family communication.
  Susan Wilson served on the New Jersey State Board of Education from 
1977 to 1982. It was there that she championed the effort to establish 
a statewide mandate for family education in all New Jersey schools.
  Since 1983, Ms. Wilson has served as the executive coordinator for 
the Network for Family Life Education at Rutgers University's School of 
Social Work. In her present capacity she has become a leader in the 
fight for effective family life/sexuality education and prevention of 
adolescent pregnancy.
  In 1998, Susan Wilson received the Richard J. Cross Award for 
Distinguished Contribution to the Field of Human Sexuality from the 
Robert Wood Johnson Medical School. In past years, she has also been 
the recipient of a Children's Defense Fund Leadership Award and a New 
Jersey Woman of Achievement Award from Douglas College.
  Susan Wilson is a great asset to Central New Jersey. I urge all my 
colleagues to join me today in recognizing Susan Wilson's dedication to 
her community.
