                      Wednesday, September 3, 2003

  Mr. PALLONE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to laud the accomplishments of 
Mr. Wayne B. Salter, and his 30 years of service as a member of the 
Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks. Mr. Salter has held various 
positions within the order, actively living by the Benevolent and 
Protective Order of Elks' principles of ``Charity, Justice, Brotherly 
Love, and Fidelity.''
  Since Mr. Salter's initiation into Long Branch, New Jersey's Elks 
Lodge #742 he has served as Esquire, Esteemed Lecturing Knight, 
Esteemed Loyal Knight, and Esteemed Leading, Knight. He has also held 
the position of Exalted Ruler for three terms, member of the Board of 
Trustees two times, Chairman of the Board, and Chairman of the P.E.R. 
Association.
  Mr. Salter is a stellar member of the Benevolent and Protective Order 
of Elks, an organization that has been helping, and volunteering for 
communities all over the world since it's founding in 1868. This 
society is rooted in tradition with the goal to improve life for all. 
Mr. Salter has done just this, time and time again going above the call 
of duty. During his term as Leading Knight, Mr. Salter was secretary 
for the Leading Knights' Clinic as well as chairing most Lodge 
Committees. Mr. Salter's concern for the greater good of his community 
led him to take the position of District Chairman for Drug Awareness at 
which time the State Elks Peer Leadership Program was started.
  Mr. Salter has been an invaluable member to the Long Branch Elks 
Lodge having served on many different committees as well as chairing, 
the Elks House Committee and Public Relations Committee. For his 
devoted service, The Long Branch Elks honored him in 1993 by electing 
him to be Honorary Life Member.
  Today, Mr. Salter holds the office of Vice President of the South 
Central District of the New Jersey State Elks Association. The tireless 
amount of time and energy that Mr. Salter has given to the Benevolent 
and Protective order of Elks should be applauded. Once again, Mr. 
Speaker, I would like to congratulate Mr. Salter for the thoughtful, 
community-building work that he has been involved with for the past 30 
years as a member of the Benevolent and Protective Order of Elks.
