  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, I want to recognize Mr. Robert P. Wise, who 
will receive the 2001 Hunterdon Distinguished Citizen Award given by 
the Central New Jersey Boy Scouts of America for his dedication to 
community service and citizenship.
  The Distinguished Citizen Award is presented to the individuals who 
exemplify in their daily life the ideals of the Boy Scouts of America. 
The recipients are chosen for their outstanding character, citizenship 
and personal fitness as well as their leadership and respect in the 
community.
  For over twenty-five years, Mr. Wise has provided leadership and 
responsible management experience to hospitals and related healthcare 
organizations. He has been committed to customer service excellence, 
team building, and the challenge of profitable growth. He is currently 
Chief Executive Officer of the Hunterdon Healthcare System which 
provides healthcare to 120,000 residents of Hunterdon County and its 
contiguous communities.
  Mr. Wise's community service includes serving on the Board of 
Directors of the United Ways of Hunterdon County, Chairman of the 
Capital Campaign for United Way, Board of Trustees for Hunterdon 
Hospice and a board member of the Flemington Rotary Club. He is also a 
member of the American Public Health Association and Chairman of the 
New Jersey Hospital Association.
  Mr. Wise has demonstrated a commitment to service and deserves 
recognition for his years of service. I urge my colleagues to join me 
today in acknowledging Mr. Wise's accomplishments and contributions to 
New Jersey.
