                          HON. DONALD M. PAYNE

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 22, 2003

  Mr. PAYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize a great man, Mr. 
Jim Culver. An involved constituent in my district, Mr. Culver will be 
recognized on June 1, 2003 by Saint Paul's Calvary United Church of God 
in Union, New Jersey with their Lifetime Achievement Award as Usher of 
the Year.
  An active member of Saint Paul's Calvary United Church for the past 
thirty-five years, Mr. Culver has served as Secretary of the Usher 
board for the past thirty-one years. In this capacity he has been a 
great supporter of all activities of the church as well as lending a 
helping hand to the entire community of Union. A hard and reliable 
worker, he continues to give selflessly of himself to all of those whom 
he encounters.
  Mr. Speaker, I know that my colleagues here in the U.S. House of 
Representatives join me today in recognizing Mr. Jim Culver for his 
innumerable contributions to the town of Union as well as to his 
congregation. I wish to congratulate him as he is recognized with the 
Lifetime Achievement Award as Usher of the Year and wish him the very 
best for the future.
