  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, I wish to bring to the attention of the House 
Dr. John L. McGuire, who will receive the 2001 Hunterdon Distinguished

  The Distinguished Citizen Award is presented to the individuals who

The recipients are chosen for their outstanding character, citizenship 
and personal fitness as well as their leadership and respect in the 
community.
  Following graduation from Princeton University in 1969, Dr. McGuire 
has had a long and distinguished career with Johnson & Johnson. He is 
currently Vice President of Licensing and Acquisitions in the 
Pharmaceutical Group. Dr. McGuire has served on the Board of Directors 
of Ortho Pharmaceutical Corporation and the Robert Wood Johnson 
Pharmaceutical Research Institute. He is a member of numerous 
scientific societies and has served as consultant to NASA. He has 
published over 200 papers during his career.
  Dr. McGuire has also been active in community affairs. He served as 
Chairman of the Board of Trustees of Hunterdon Healthcare System since 
1991 and as Chairman of Hunterdon Medical Center. He is Vice Chairman 
at the Raritan Valley Community College and is President of the Board 
of Trustees at the Pennington School. He is President of the Central 
New Jersey Scout Council and previously served as President of the 
United Way of Hunterdon County. He is recipient of scouting's 
Distinguished Eagle Scout Award and its Silver Beaver Award as well as 
the Rolling Hills Girl Scout Council's President's Award for service to 
youth and community.
  Dr. McGuire has served his community well and deserves recognition 
for his years of dedication to the Boy Scouts of America and his 
community. I urge all my colleagues to join me today in acknowledging 
Dr. McGuire's accomplishments and contributions to New Jersey.
