       HONORING THOMAS V. DOOLEY OF THE NEW JERSEY STATE AFL-CIO

 Mr. TORRICELLI. Madam President, I rise today to recognize 
Thomas V. Dooley for his years of devotion and commitment to the 
Middlesex County, NJ AFL-CIO Labor Council. Mr. Dooley is retiring from 
his position as president after many years of outstanding service.
  A devoted father and husband, Mr. Dooley has played an important and 
prominent role in Middlesex County labor. Labor has a long history in 
this country for speaking up for the concerns of workers who would 
otherwise not be heard. But through the leadership and guidance of 
people such as Thomas Dooley their voices are being heard and action is 
being taken. As the International Representative for the Paper, Allied 
Industrial, Chemical and Energy Worker International Union of New 
Jersey, Thomas has been an effective and powerful voice for his members 
on a variety of critical issues.
  Thomas Dooley has also been very involved in the community. He is 
currently vice president of the David B. Crabiel Scholarship 
Foundation, the Assistant Treasurer for the Middlesex County Board of 
Social Services and is a member of the Board of Directors for New 
Brunswick Tomorrow. He has excelled in his career, in his community and 
has dedicated his entire life towards helping others.
  So I join with Thomas Dooley's brothers and sisters in the labor 
movement in recognizing his service to the community, his countless 
acts of compassion, and his commitment to working men and women. May 
his spirit of service and community be a model for all of us to admire 
and emulate.
