                      TRIBUTE TO WILLIAM P. NAULTY

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JIM SAXTON

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, March 5, 2002

  Mr. SAXTON. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a good 
friend, William P. Naulty, who is retiring March 14, 2002 after 20 
years service to the good citizens of Burlington County.
  In the early 1980s, when I served in the New Jersey Assembly and 
Senate, Bill acted as my press secretary, utilizing his knowledge not 
only of the working press, but of the legislative process. He was a 
true asset to my staff, good natured, well-liked and loyal.
  More recently, as Chief Legislative Aide to Eighth District Senator 
C. William Haines, Assemblymen Harold Colbum and Francis Bodine he 
monitored all policy put forth by the legislators. Continuing to serve 
in that capacity for Senator Martha Bark, and Assemblymen Bodine and 
Larry Chatizidakis, Bill has also been responsible for press inquiries 
and constituent service. In our state's capital, he is considered 
``dean'' of legislative aides, displaying a working knowledge of major 
issues facing the people of the Eighth District and New Jersey as a 
whole.
  Prior to his legislative duties, Bill worked for more than 27 years 
as a reporter, rewriter and make-up editor with the Philadelphia 
Bulletin, a daily paper which ceased operation in 1982. He covered the 
New Jersey beat, reporting on local, county, state and national 
politics and government. He made the transition, from newspaper 
reporter to legislative aide extraordinaire seamlessly, earning the 
respect of not only legislators, but constituents as well.
  Honorably discharged ftom the United States Army, Bill has devoted 
many years to the community, both through his work with the press, and 
also with the legislative district he has served so faithfully for so 
many years. He is highly respected by people on both sides of the 
aisle, by the press, by those in business and industry, and most 
important, by the people.
  It has been a pleasure working with Bill Naulty through the years as 
we have served our mutual constituents. May his retirement with his 
wife, Marie, and children be as fulfilling as his years of service have 
been rewarding.
