                      HONORING DR. JAMES E. CARNES

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. RUSH D. HOLT

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Wednesday, June 26, 2002

  Mr. HOLT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Dr. James E. 
Carnes, a constituent of mine who retired earlier this month after a 
distinguished career of service at the Sarnoff Corporation, the last 
eleven and a half years as President and CEO.
  Dr. Carnes holds nine U.S. patents and is the author of more than 100 
papers and presentations. He received the David Samoff Award for 
Outstanding Technical Achievement in 1981. He has made tremendous 
contributions to science, to Sarnoff and to our central New Jersey 
community.
  Carnes earned his Ph.D. in electrical engineering from Princeton 
University and B.S. in engineering science from Pennsylvania State 
University, and served four years in the U.S. Navy.
  Dr. Carnes began his career in 1969 when he joined RCA Laboratories 
as a member of the technical staff. In 1977, he transferred to RCA's 
Consumer Electronics Division, holding a variety of management 
positions, including Vice President of Engineering. In 1987, when 
Sarnoff Carnes became a subsidiary of SRI International, Dr. Carnes was 
named Vice President of Consumer Electronics and Information Sciences 
Research.
  In addition to serving on the board of directors of SRI International 
and Sarnoff, Carnes serves on the board of several emerging growth 
technology companies including Sensar, Inc., Sarif, Inc., Orchid 
Biocomputer and Sarnoff Digital Communications.
  We in central New Jersey will miss Dr. Carnes and his steady 
leadership at Samrnoff. I hope that all of my colleagues in the House 
will join with me in wishing him every success in his future endeavors.
