                         HONORING WILLIAM GREEN

                                 ______
                                 

                         HON. STEVEN R. ROTHMAN

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 6, 2001

  Mr. ROTHMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a man who 
has dedicated himself to improving housing opportunities for people 
throughout Bergen County. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor William Green of 
River Vale, New Jersey, this year's chairperson of the Community 
Housing in Partnership's (CHIP) Golf Invitational.
  As the Chairperson of this year's tournament, Bill has worked long 
hours to make the CHIP Golf Invitational an enjoyable experience for 
participants, as well as raise funds to develop affordable housing in 
Bergen County. It is a testament to his dedication that Bill has 
balanced this responsibility with his busy full-time job as a Senior 
Vice President at MetLife.
  Bill's work at CHIP will help change the lives of so many in our 
community by developing affordable housing. Thanks to CHIP, independent 
living options now exist for working low-income families, senior 
citizens, recovering alcoholics, and formerly homeless individuals. And 
CHIP has teamed up with the Bergen County Community Action Program to 
provide supportive services, as well.
  People who give so much of themselves, as Bill Green, do not do so 
for the recognition. However, he certainly deserves to receive it.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to congratulate Bill Green as well as his 
wife Susan and their daughters Katie and Emily, for all their hard 
work, dedication and generosity on behalf of CHIP, and wish them health 
and much happiness in the years to come.
