                      IN HONOR OF EVELYN M. MOORE

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. DONALD M. PAYNE

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, September 5, 2001

  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a New Jersey 
Public Servant, Evelyn M. Moore, who is retiring after almost two 
decades of service at the University of Medicine and Dentistry of New 
Jersey, one of the Nation's premier health sciences universities.
  Ms. Moore began her service to UMDNJ in the field of government and 
public affairs in 1983. During the course of her 18-year tenure, she 
has been continually promoted, in recognition of her outstanding 
service and performance, ultimately achieving the title of Manager of 
Federal Government Relations in December of 1998.
  Evelyn M. Moore will officially retire from the University of 
Medicine and Dentistry of New Jersey on September 28, 2001. It is with 
mixed emotions that the University community will celebrate Evelyn's 
retirement.
  Her years of diligent service as the foundation of UMDNJ's Department 
of Government and Public Affairs, have been invaluable to both the 
University and to Members of the New Jersey Congressional Delegation.

  Her ability to communicate the University's agenda and issues, 
through her remarkable writing ability, translating complex issues to 
accessible language for internal and external audience, helped advance 
many projects and initiatives.
  Her advocacy of the University has resulted in great gain for UMDNJ, 
the state of New Jersey, and the health and welfare of our citizenry. 
She has played instrumental roles in the creation of the Child Health 
Institute of New Jersey, the Cancer Institute of New Jersey, and in 
working with us here in Washington to secure critical funding for AIDS/
HIV, minority health education, environmental health sciences, 
infectious disease and tuberculosis research, and to advance the 
protection of New Jersey from bioterrorism. These are but a few of 
projects on which I am proud to say I have worked with her and the 
University. I know that many Members of the New Jersey Delegation have 
also benefited from and appreciated her assistance.
  We join with Evelyn's friends and colleagues at the University in the 
administration, faculty, and staff who will miss her and wish her the 
best and happiest years in her retirement.
